Research Log Entry 13

1. The topic discussed in the last class meeting was the two most popular formats to cite sources, the Modern Language Association format (MLA) and the American Psychological Association format (APA)

2. In the MLA format, if more than 3 authors contributed to the book, only three authors will be listed followed by "et. al". In the APA format, all authors are listed.

In the APA format, only the first word in the title is capitalized. In the MLA format, all important words are captialized.

Yes, you have two differences. I'm interested in your choice of the number of authors. You must either have that knowledge from before or have actually gone and looked at the books!
