| Accuracy |
Each citation is accurate if the elements are entered correctly, for example, in MLA style the entered text for the title must
be capitalized (in APA the only the initial letter of the initial word in the title and subtitle need capitalization unless
it is a proper noun). The exception in APA, if you enter the author's first name, it abbreviates it for you as APA requires. |
