The APA manual (published by the American Psychological Association) is mostly used in
social science and education fields.
The MLA handbook (published by the Modern Language Association) is mostly used in
humanities fields.
However, citations look slightly different in each style, with different rules for things like title
capitalization, author names, and placement of the date.
There are also some differences in layout and formatting. The MS Word has templates for a
correctly formatted paper in either style, however, it is still best to learn about it from
memory when no template is available.
follows the 8th edition of MLA style and the 6th edition of APA style .
Both MLA and APA use parenthetical citations to cite sources in the text. However, they
include slightly different information.
An APA in-text citation includes the author’s last name and the publication year. If you’re
quoting or paraphrasing a specific passage, you also add a page number.
An MLA in-text citation includes the author’s last name and a page number. The two styles
also have different rules about when to shorten citations with “et al.” Check the table to
compare in-text citations for APA and MLA.
APA MLA
Failure to cite basically means that you are claiming that the entire paper and all
its information are yours. That is untrue and it’s called plagiarism, an act of taking
words, ideas, or information as your own. In writing or speaking, always give credit
whenever you use: another person’s idea, opinion, or theory, any facts, statistics,
graphs, drawing-any piece of information-that are common knowledge, quotations
of another person’s spoken, or written words and paraphrase of another person’s
spoken and written words.
The purpose of a citation is usually to provide support or evidence for what you
are saying; it tells the reader where this support or evidence can be found, and it
typically does this by providing a reference to bibliography, a list of detailed
bibliographic information provided at the end of the document.
Citation style has a set of rules on how to cite sources in academic writing.
∙ Entries are not numbered; Alphabetize by the first word of the entry
∙ Italics must be used for titles of books and periodicals ( If italics are used, the font
must be obviously different from the standard print)
∙ Editions of books are noted after the title in the following format: 2nd ed., First
editions are not listed as such. If no edition is listed, omit the edition section.
∙ Dates are in Day Month Year (e.g., 12 Dec 1992) with all months abbreviated to
three letters followed by a period (Jan., Feb., Mar., Apr., Aug., Oct., Nov., Dec.)
except May, June, and July, which are as is and Sept.
∙ Page numbers in MLA are sometimes shortened. If the page numbers are three or
more digits, shorten the second number to two digits when possible. Examples: 8-9;
44-49; 112-23; 492-506; 1253-66.
∙ All citations should be double spaced; Indent after the first line of each entry
∙ Alphabetize by the first word of the entry; entries are not numbered
∙ Editions of books are noted after the title in the following format: (2nd ed.) First editions
are not listed as such If no edition is listed, omit the edition section
∙ CAPITALIZE ONLY the first word of a title, the first word of a subtitle, and proper nouns in
titles of books and articles, no matter how they appear in a database or catalog
∙ Use the abbreviations p. or pp. only for multi-page newspapers articles, encyclopedia
entries, and chapters or articles in edited books;
Do not use the abbreviation p. or pp. (or any other abbreviation) for magazine and journal
articles.
∙ Dates are in Year, Month Day format (e.g. 1999, December 20)
∙ Date is in parenthesis after the author’s name (or title if no author is listed)
1. Summary
2. Paraphrase
A restatement of an idea in roughly the same length as the author originally described it.
This is when you restate what the original author said in your own words and in your own
tone. Paraphrasing involves putting a passage from source material into your own words. A
paraphrase must also be attributed to the original source. Paraphrased material is usually
shorter than the original passage, taking a somewhat broader segment of the source and
condensing it slightly.
3. Quotation
The exact same words as the author used, presented between quotation marks. If you
are stating word-for-word what someone else has already written, you must give credit to
the original author. Not doing so would mean that you’re letting your reader believe these
words are your own and represent your own effort. Quotations must be identical to the
original, using a narrow segment of the source. They must match the source document word
for word and must be attributed to the original author.
Include an in-text citation when you summarize, paraphrase, or quote from another source.
APA (American Psychological Association) and MLA (Modern Language Association) can be
used to cite a source. In both APA and MLA style, you list full details of all cited sources on a
separate page at the end of your paper. In APA this is usually called the Reference List; in
MLA it is called the Works Cited.
The following show the format of APA and MLA citation styles.
