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."
