A lot of little differences, but it’s all just in the formatting and references. APA is largely used in psychology, social work, and education fields while MLA is often used in literature, arts, and humanities, but it varies. Some differences include: APA uses italics for the title of the book or journal the selection is from MLA underlines APA uses the author’s first initial only MLA uses the author’s whole first name, if available. Plus others.
