MobleyAPA and MLA


Quinn Mobley

Similarities:
They both are ways of where to indicate research.

In text citations are in parenthesis

Work cited pages are the same

The most two common citation ways used on college campuses.

Both are used for research purposes.





MLA:
Does not have year of when the research piece was published.

Does not require that much formatting with the citation 


The author’s name can be used in the sentence the year does not have to follow the name 

Is not usually used for sciences 

Generally the same citation for anywhere the research is gathered. 

Work cited page is called bibliography instead of references



APA:
Requires the year the book was published

Requires commas in-between author and year and more formatting with the page number. 

The year has to follow the name of the author if the authors name in mentioned in the document. 

Usually is the citation sciences use


The citation is different depending on where the information is gathered. Journal article citation is different from a books citation

Not called bibliography instead called references
