DOCUMENTATION STYLES for college research |
 |
| Documentation styles are systems for
providing information about sources used in research papers. Documentation
styles vary among academic disciplines. The Modern Language Association
style (MLA) is often used in the Humanities (English, Theater, Art, Music,
etc.). The American Psychological Association (APA) style is used in the
social sciences (history, sociology, psychology, anthropology, human services,
etc.) Check with your instructor regarding which style you should use for
your research work.

NEW! from the Landmark Project- David Warlick's online "documentation machine" lets you choose your source (book, periodical, published interview, online article, etc.) and enter the information about the source (author, publisher, date of publication, etc.). The machine then gives you the correct in-text parenthetical reference for both MLA and APA styles as well as the correct bibliographic reference for each style. It doesn't get much easier than this!
