one similarity between apa and mla is the fact that they both are required to be double spaces papers. Along with both papers have either a reference page or a works cited page which need to be in alphabetical order. Another similarity would be that they bot use parentheses to cite source's within the paper.
Differences between the two would regard the in text citations, and with mla you have to use the authors name after a qoute but with apa you are required to use the date it was published. In mla you title your last page with your sources work cited, but in apa you title your last page with references. MLA also uses page numbers and only uses qouted up to four lines compared to apa that uses up to forty lines.
