Actually, in APA style, the correct term is "Reference List," not "Response area Reference List." Here’s a brief overview of the differences between the two styles regarding in-text citations and the source list:
MLA Style
- In-Text Citations: Uses the author's last name and the page number(s) in parentheses. For example: (Smith 23).
- Works Cited Page: This list is titled "Works Cited" and includes full citations of all sources referenced in the text. The entries are typically formatted with the author’s name, title of the work, and publication information.
APA Style
- In-Text Citations: Uses the author's last name and the year of publication. For example: (Smith, 2020).
- Reference List: This list is titled "References" and similarly includes full citations of sources in a specific format that gives more emphasis on publication dates. Entries are formatted with the author’s last name, initials, publication year, title of the work, and source details.
