APA VS MLA

The two papers are alike in regards to the basic fact that they both site every source they use, and quote. they both cite their sources in one spot at the end of the paper. they both use in text citations as well. the differences in the two are the fact that in MLA quotes over four lines are their own indented paragraph, where as in APA quotes over 40 words are given their own indented paragraph. the end page of an MLA piece is labeled "works cited", while the end page of APA is labeled "references". also in APA years are not always cited at the end of a source, but sometimes cited throughout. also the author name is sometimes listed in the sentence not in the parenthesis at the end of the citation. overall the differences are minor.
