LaTeX/Academic Journals
< LaTeX
When writing an academic paper, it usually follows a specific style guide such as the Modern Language Association's MLA style or the American Psychological Association's APA style.
MLA style
For the MLA style, there is the mla package along with the mla class.
mla package
Documents formatted in the MLA style can be made using the mla package.
The following is an example MLA document (with blindtext):
\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\usepackage{mla}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\begin{mla}{Jane}{Doe}{Smith}{ENG 118}{2022-07-05}{My Paper}
\blindtext
\end{mla}
\end{document}
