What is a parenthetical citation? This is a method of citing sources in MLA style that enables students to cite works within the text of the paper.
APA style is usually used for writing for psychology and the social sciences. It is similar to MLA, but often uses fewer abbreviations and may include dates.

MLA (Modern Language Association) style is most commonly used to write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities. This resource, updated to reflect the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (7th ed.) and the MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing (3rd ed.), offers examples for the general format of MLA research papers, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the Works Cited page. Note: MLA has recently released the eighth edition of its handbook. See our page on the major changes in the new edition. We will replace our current MLA resources with resources on the eighth edition in early June 2016.
