Citing Your Sources
Citing Your Sources
A variety of styles are available for creating references to cited literature, both in-text references and full citations in the bibliography or list of references at the end of a paper.
Select the style that matches the general discipline:
APA -- social sciences, psychology
MLA -- humanities, arts
Chicago/Turabian -- multidisciplinary
CSE -- science and medicine
Other styles -- anthropology, government publications
Remember, any time you use an author's ideas, you will need to cite the source to give them credit. Not sure when to cite? This short will help.
