What is the difference between APA 7th and MLA 9th citations?
APA (American Psychological Association) emphasizes the author and year of publication in parentheses (Author, 2026), prioritizing publication recency. MLA (Modern Language Association) emphasizes author name and page numbers (Author 45), commonly used in humanities and literature.
How does the URL Auto-Fill feature work?
When you paste a link, the citation generator inspects the target webpage's HTML meta tags, OpenGraph data, schema directives, and domain name to pre-fill article title, website publication name, and canonical URL.
