Answer:

Some of the main differences of MLA (Modern Language Association) and APA (American Psychological Association) style of citation are:

  • MLA uses author's last name+page number format, while APA uses author's last name+date format;
  • MLA does not uses parentheses to enclose the date, while APA does use them;
  • MLA capitalizes all major words in the title, while APA capitalizes only the first word of the title and proper nouns;
  • MLA underlines the title, while APA writes the titles in italics.
