In APA, a separate cover page is required. It lists the title of your paper, your full name, your institution and department, the course the paper is for, your instructor's name, and the due date, all centered and double-spaced.

MLA header requirements

In MLA, no title page is required (though your instructor may require you to include one). Instead of a title page, you add a four-line header on the first page. The header is left-aligned and double-spaced and lists your full name, your instructor's name, the course title or number, and the submission date. The paper's title is centered on a new line under the header.

Rules for each format regarding in -text citations?

An APA in-text citation includes the author's last name and the publication year. If you're quoting or paraphrasing a specific passage, you also add a page number. (Taylor, 2018, p.23) An MLA in-text citation includes the author's last name and a page number—no year. (Taylor 23) When there are two authors, APA Style separates their names with an ampersand (&), (Taylor & Kotler, 2018, p. 23) while MLA uses "and." (Taylor and Kotler 23) For three or more authors, both styles list the first author followed by "et al."
