1. âMLAâ refers to the Modern Language Association citation system while âAPAâ refers to the American Psychological Association citation system. 2. MLA is used in academic writings and the humanities while APA is used in writing about business and the sciences.
The differences between the citation forms are mainly in what information each considers relevant. In MLA, page numbers (along with the author) are cited, while in APA, dates of publication (along with the author) are cited. Although APA does provide page numbers, it places more of a stress on years and dates than MLA. Another difference between the two consists within the works cited page, where information is rearranged slightly differently when providing the citation sources.
