MLA. The Modern Language Association (MLA) style is the leading style of documentation for literary research, as well as academic papers in the humanities field. It follows a specific set of rules for formatting manuscripts, and is considered, along with the APA style, a standardized reference format in college.
In contrary to the APA style, the MLA style of writing doesnât encourage the use of a separate Title page. The upper left-hand corner of the first page should contain the names of the author, instructor and the course apart from the date. The MLA guidelines emphasize on the use of double-spaced text in the first page.
