APA与MLA格式区别

如果没有引述具体观点，APA可以 省略页码。 Author’s name and publication date (separated by a comma) are placed at the end of the attributed text. Omit year from subsequent citations after first citation within paragraph.

Citing Two or More Works by the Same Author or Authors
MLA Style 引用同一作者的多篇文献时，在括 号夹注中应加入文献标题中的关键 词组。书名用下划线，文章用引号。 Shakespeare’s King Lear has been called a “comedy of the grotesque” (Frye, Anatomy 237).


APA：

One researcher (Grayson, as cited in Murzynski & Degelman, 1996, p. 135) identified four components of body language that were related to judgments of vulnerability. 引用非直接文献以后，在正文后参考文献 著录中只需列入该非直接文献的条目 （即上述实例中的“Boswell”和 “Murzynski & Degelman, 1996”）。
The book title (underlined) or journal article (in quotes) is provided. If there is no author, then only the book title journal article would appear, for example, (Anatomy, 237).
