What is a reference list in APA style?
APA is one of the most popular citation styles and was developed by the American Psychological Association to standardize scientific writing. The APA citation style includes short citations in-text and a reference list at the end of the document. In-text citations are required in the author-year format, e.g. (Rode, 2012). The reference list provides the information that a reader would need to identify and find each source that you have used. It generally includes four elements: author, date, title, and source. All the rules of the APA style can be found in the APA Manual, which is currently in its 7th edition.
What is a works-cited page in MLA style?
The Works Cited page is a list of all the sources that were referenced in a research paper written in MLA (Modern Language Association) format. The purpose of the Works Cited page is to give credit to the authors and sources used in the paper and to allow readers to locate and verify the sources. The Works Cited page should be placed at the end of the paper and include all sources cited within the text, alphabetized by the author's last name. Each entry should include the author's name, the title of the source, the publication information, and the medium of publication.
