Frequently asked questions
What actually changes between APA and MLA?
Author names go from initials to full first names, the date moves from after the author to near the end, and the title switches from sentence case to title case.
Does it handle every source type?
Books, journal articles and web pages convert reliably. Unusual sources such as datasets or court filings differ enough between the styles to need checking by hand.
Which editions does it follow?
APA 7th edition and MLA 9th edition, the ones currently required by most institutions. Older editions differ mainly in how they treat URLs and DOIs.
Should I check the result?
Yes. Automatic conversion depends on the input being correctly formatted APA to begin with, so a malformed source produces a malformed target.
