: Re: Can you cite a source in the introduction of your paper in MLA? I'm currently writing a paper in a class about writing papers (go figure) and I'm stuck on whether or not I can cite something

The MLA Handbook (8th ed.) does not mention the use of citations within introductory text at all.

Barring their proscription, I can only assume that the rules for such in introductions are the same as for anywhere else in the body of a piece of text.

Unless a publisher says not to do it because of their own house style, I see no reason why you shouldn't.
