What is a reference list in APA style?
APA stands for American Psychological Association and describes one of the most popular citation styles for scientific writing. APA style uses an author-date reference citation system in the text, accompanied by a reference list at the end of the paper. In the reference list, the author, year, title, and source of the cited works need to be listed in alphabetical order. If a reference is not cited in the text, it should not be included in the reference list. The APA Manual provides all the rules of the APA citation style and is currently in its 7th edition.
What is a works-cited page in MLA style?
The MLA citation style was developed by the Modern Language Association of America, an association of scholars and teachers of language and literature. It mandates in-text parenthetical citations and a reference list at the end of the paper called Works Cited. The Works Cited list includes 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.
