Research Papers / Writing a a preface; need help with citation. [4]
I am using MLA to cite my paper. I've googled various keywords including "MLA cite research paper, MLA own paper underline quotation marks," etc. but I cannot find the answer I am looking for.
When a person mentions the title of a book, they are supposed to either underline or italicize it. In my case, I am mentioning the title of my own original paper within a body paragraph of that same paper; I am unsure of how I should treat it.
Let's say that the title of the paper I am writing is called, "Nigeria: Picking Up the Broken Pieces." In the preface of that very paper, I mention its title in a sentence saying, "I chose to name my paper Nigeria: Picking Up the Broken Pieces because it represents..." Would I have to do anything with the title in that sentence?
