APA 7th:

• always leaves space at the top of the paper
• APA shows information regarding the author, the class, and the date all in the middle of the first page underneath one another
• encourages to not cite work in the abstract
• citations in the same parenthetical go alphabetically
• only add in location of citation when it is an exact quote and not when paraphrasing
• et al used after first listed author’s name when there are more than three
• levels of headings all have very different rules (flushed to the left, bolded, italicized)
• Same: when using multiple quotes in one line you list the location immediately after the quote
• “references”
• DOI= URL
• at least 20 authors
• abstract is the only indented paragraph

MLA:

• also list similar information in the beginning just different positioning
• alphabetical listing of authors name was similar
• “works cited”
• small additional citation section
• indent every paragraph
