WHAT IS IT
APA and M LA are two of the most commonly used citation styles.
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.
5
This article follows the 8th edition of MLA style and the 6th edition of APA style .
6
In-text citations in APA and MLA
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 M LA
3–5 First citation: (Taylor, Kotler, Johnson, & (Taylor et al. 23)

7
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.
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: (2 nd
ed.) First editions are not listed as such If no edition is listed, omit the
edition section
Italics must be used for books and periodical titles
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;
8
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)
If no author is listed, begin with title
Date is in parenthesis after the author’s name ( or title if no author is
listed)
Use (n.d.) if no date is given
Personal Communication includes: private letters, memos, some
electronic communication ( i.e. email or messages from nonarchival
discussion groups) personal interviews, telephone conversations, etc.
These types of communication are not recoverable data and therefore
should not be included on the Reference page. Cite communication in
text only.

APA Reference List vs. MLA Works Cited list
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 W orks Cited
The following show the format of APA and MLA citation styles.
