| APA 7th edition | MLA 9th edition | |
|---|---|---|
| Title page | A student paper has one | No title page: a heading block on page one |
| In-text citation | Author and year | Author and page |
| Reference page | References | Works Cited |
| Font guidance | Several accepted fonts | Any readable font |
