APA, MLA and Chicago Style

Citation styles are a set of formatting and documentation often used in the arts and humanities.  Different disciplines use different styles.  Be sure to check with your professor about which style to use. 

Style refers to:

  • The format and structure of your paper
  • How you cite your sources in the text
  • How to create a Works Cited page at the end of your paper
