Citing sources in MLA Style requires both a brief in-text citation and full details of each source on a final Works Cited page. Every in-text citation points a reader to complete details of each source used in the Works Cited page. In-text citations in MLA style require you to give author and specific page number(s) when available.
Citing sources in APA Style requires both a brief in-text citation and full details of each source on a final References page.
For direct quotations, you will include author, year, and pages for the in-text citation at the end of the sentence. If you are paraphrasing though, you only include author and year for your in-text citation at the end of the sentence.
