Research Log Entry (Due Monday, November 19, 2007)

1. MLA (Modern Language Association) and APA (American Psychological Association) formats and how to properly cite sources in the afore-mentioned formats. We also learned of online tools that can assist in the citation process.

2. MLA focuses more on the author, APA focuses more on the date published. MLA is more suitable to the humanities, while APA is more suitable to the sciences.

Yes. Note, however, that there are also differences in the format and layout of the two citations types. Differences include the way the authors and title are displayed, where the publication date is placed, and so on.
