What is a reference list in APA style?
The American Psychological Association recommends that you cite any works or individuals whose ideas, theories, or research have directly influenced your work. This means crediting them in-text with a short citation in the author-date format, e.g. (Hattie, 2008), and a full entry in the reference list. The entry in the reference list contains the author, year, title and source of the cited work. The APA style also mandates the formatting and structure of a paper. 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 MLA citation style is predominantly used in the liberal arts, humanities, and research focused on languages, literature, and culture. MLA stands for Modern Language Association, and the format guidelines for the MLA style can be found in the MLA Handbook. A Works Cited page in MLA is a comprehensive list at the end of a research paper containing all sources cited within a text. Each entry should contain the author's name, the title of the source, the publication information, and the medium of publication.
