Study Notes
Citation Styles
- MLA, APA, and Chicago are common citation styles
- MLA: Used primarily in language and literature, developed in 1883, and used in universities/colleges. Organizes papers/assignments, including citations, for presentation.
- APA: Created by the American Psychological Association, used in social sciences, medical fields, and education. Requires in-text citations (author, year, page number) and a reference list (alphabetical by author last name; format varies by source type).
- Chicago (CMS): Popular style guide for academics, professionals, and publishers. Flexible format for humanities, sciences, etc. Uses superscript numbers in the text linked to full citations in footnotes or endnotes; includes author, title, publication details (city, publisher, date), and page numbers. Different bibliography formats exist based on field.
In-Text Citations
- In-text citations are parenthetical references within the text to source information, opinions, or language.
- Author and publication year (sometimes page number) are included.
- Needed for direct quotes, paraphrases, summaries, or references to another's work.
- MLA uses author-page format ("Lopez 10").
- APA and Chicago use author-date format ("Lopez, 2011", "Lopez 2011").
End-of-Paper Citations
- MLA: Works Cited page (alphabetized by author last name, double-spaced, hanging indent)
- APA: References page (alphabetized by author last name)
- Chicago: Reference List (alphabetized by author last name)
Works Cited Page (MLA)
- Starts on a new page, and title "Works Cited" is centered.
- Uses the same font style/size as the paper.
- Double-spaced throughout.
- Reverse indent for subsequent lines of entries.
- Alphabetized by author's last name.
- Format for entries varies depending on source type (book, website, etc.).
Book Citations
