DOI to MLA Citation Converter
MLA 9 treats a journal article as a container chain — article title in quotes, journal in italics, volume, issue, year, pages — which is fiddly to assemble manually. A DOI lookup fills every slot from the publisher's record, so the works-cited entry comes out right the first time.
When you need this
