Short answer

For the book: APA - Dodd, J. S. (1986). The ACS style guide: A manual for authors and editors. American Chemical Society. MLA - Dodd, Janet S. The ACS Style Guide: A Manual for Authors and Editors. American Chemical Society, 1986. For the journal article: APA - White, J. V. (1991, February). Colour in context. Computer Publishing, 55–57. MLA - White, Jan V. 'Colour in Context.' Computer Publishing, Feb. 1991, pp. 55–57.

Put the following information in to APA and MLA styles of citation. a) Book Name = The ACS style Guide: A manual for Authors and Editors; Author's name = Janet S. Dodd; Publishers = American Chemical Society; Place of Publication = Washington, DC; Year of Publication = 1986 b) Journal = Computer Publishing; Author = Jan V. White; Article = Colour in Context; Date of Publication = February, 1991; Page nos = 55-57

a) Book

APA: Dodd, J. S. (1986). The ACS style guide: A manual for authors and editors. American Chemical Society.

MLA: Dodd, Janet S. The ACS Style Guide: A Manual for Authors and Editors. American Chemical Society, 1986.

b) Journal article

APA: White, J. V. (1991, February). Colour in context. Computer Publishing, 55–57.

MLA: White, Jan V. "Colour in Context." Computer Publishing, Feb. 1991, pp. 55–57.

Notes: The place of publication (Washington, DC) is omitted in both current styles. No volume or issue number is given for the article, so only the date and page range are shown. The MLA entry abbreviates the month (Feb.) and puts quotation marks around the article title; the APA entry uses sentence case without quotation marks.
