(I have a very similar answer [but not the same] to this for a similar question.) Show
All of the examples in this answer are taken directly from this link. and this link. My answer: You would just make two separate citations because you are citing two separate articles. However, you should still follow the same format for each of the website citations. If each of the articles has a date but no author, follow this citation: MLA website citation with no author Format: “Title of
Article.” Website Name, Day Month Year, URL. If the articles do not have an author or date, follow this format: MLA website citation with no author or date Format: “Title of Article.” Website Name, URL. Accessed Day Month Year. But, if the two articles are both written by the same author; you can follow this type of citation: MLA journal citation: 2 authors Works Cited: Eve, Martin Paul, and Joe Street. “The Silicon Valley Novel.” Literature & History, vol. 27, no. 1, May 2018, pp. 81-97, doi:10.1177/0306197318755680. In-text citation: (Eve and Street 84) For more information, check out my answer here, this article, and this article. Published on July 9, 2019 by Shona McCombes. Revised on May 19, 2022. An MLA in-text citation provides the author’s last name and a page number in parentheses. If a
source has two authors, name both. If a source has more than two authors, name only the first author, followed by “et al.” If the part you’re citing spans multiple pages, include the full page range. If you want to cite multiple non-consecutive pages at the same time, separate the page numbers with commas. Each in-text citation must correspond to a full reference in the list of Works Cited. You can create and save your citations with the free Scribbr Citation Generator. Place the parenthetical citation directly
after the relevant quote or paraphrase, and before the period or other punctuation mark (except with block quotes, where the citation comes after the period). If you have already named the author in the sentence, add only the page number in parentheses. When mentioning a source with three or more authors outside of parentheses, use “and others” or “and colleagues” in place of “et al.”
Combining citationsIf a sentence is supported by more than one source, you can combine the citations in a single set of parentheses. Separate the two sources with a semicolon. Livestock farming is one of the biggest global contributors to climate change (Garcia 64; Davies 14). Consecutive citations of the same sourceIf you cite the same source repeatedly within a paragraph, you can include the full citation the first time you cite it, then just the page number for subsequent citations. MLA is the second most popular citation style (Smith and Morrison 17–19). It is more popular than Chicago style, but less popular than APA (21). You can do this as long as it remains clear what source you’re citing. If you cite something else in between or start a new paragraph, reintroduce the full citation again to avoid ambiguity. For sources with no named author, the in-text citation must match the first element of the Works Cited entry. This may be the name of an organization, or the title of the source. If the source title or organization name is longer than four words, shorten it to the first word or phrase in the in-text citation, excluding any articles (a, an, and the). The shortened title or organization name should begin with the word the source is alphabetized by in the Works Cited. Follow the general MLA rules for formatting titles: If the source is a self-contained work (e.g. a whole website or an entire book), put the title in italics; if the source is contained within a larger whole (e.g. a page on a website or a chapter of a book), put the title in quotation marks. Shortening titles in MLA in-text citations
Citing sources with no page numbersIf a source does not have page numbers but is divided into numbered parts (e.g. chapters, sections, scenes, Bible books and verses, Articles of the Constitution, or timestamps), use these numbers to locate the relevant passage. If the source does not use any numbering system, include only the author’s name in the in-text citation. Don’t include paragraph numbers unless they are explicitly numbered in the source. Citing sources with no page numbers in MLA
Note that if there are no numbered divisions and you have already named the author in your sentence, then no parenthetical citation is necessary. Citing different sources with the same author nameIf your Works Cited page includes more than one entry under the same last name, you need to distinguish between these sources in your in-text citations. Multiple sources by the same authorIf you cite more than one work by the same author, add a shortened title to signal which source you are referring to. Citing multiple sources by the same author(Butler, Gender Trouble 27)(Butler, “Performative Acts” 522) In this example, the first source is a whole book, so the title appears in italics; the second is an article published in a journal, so the title appears in quotation marks. Different authors with the same last nameTo distinguish between different authors with the same last name, use the authors’ initials (or, if the initials are the same, full first names) in your in-text citations: Citing different authors with the same last name(A. Butler 19)(J. Butler 27) Citing sources indirectlySometimes you might want to cite something that you found quoted in a secondary source. If possible, always seek out the original source and cite it directly. If you can’t access the original source, make sure to name both the original author and the author of the source that you accessed. Use the abbreviation “qtd. in” (short for “quoted in”) to indicate where you found the quotation. Example of an indirect citation in MLAMarx defines “the two primary creators of wealth” as “labour-power and the land” (qtd. in Luxemburg, ch. 26).In these cases, only the source you accessed directly is included in the Works Cited list. Frequently asked questions about MLA in-text citationsHow do I cite information from a footnote in MLA style? Some source types, such as books and journal articles, may contain footnotes (or endnotes) with additional information. The following rules apply when citing information from a note in an MLA in-text citation:
How do I cite a source with no author or page numbers in MLA? If a source has no author, start the MLA Works Cited entry with the source title. Use a shortened version of the title in your MLA in-text citation. If a source has no page numbers, you can use an alternative locator (e.g. a chapter number, or a timestamp for a video or audio source) to identify the relevant passage in your in-text citation. If the source has no numbered divisions, cite only the author’s name (or the title). If you already named the author or title in your sentence, and there is no locator available, you don’t need a parenthetical citation:

How do you cite multiple pages inWhen you have two citations for the same author in one sentence, usually quotes from two different pages, you can combine them in one citation at the end of the sentence like this: (Ibsen 1700, 1704).
How do you cite multiple pages in one citation?Use the abbreviation “p.” (for one page) or “pp.” (for multiple pages) before listing the page number(s). Use an en dash for page ranges. For example, you might write (Jones, 1998, p. 199) or (Jones, 1998, pp. 199–201).

How do you cite pages in MLA?MLA in-text citation style uses the author's last name and the page number from which the quotation or paraphrase is taken, for example: (Smith 163). If the source does not use page numbers, do not include a number in the parenthetical citation: (Smith).
