APA and MLA style both use parenthetical in-text citations to cite sources and include a full list of references at the end, but they differ in other ways:
APA in-text citations include the author name, date, and page number (Taylor, 2018, p. 23), while MLA in-text citations include only the author name and page number (Taylor 23).
The APA reference list is titled “References,” while MLA’s version is called “Works Cited.”
The reference entries differ in terms of formatting and order of information.
APA requires a title page, while MLA requires a header instead.
