Citation (Documentation) Style Guides

Documentation styles are systems for providing information about sources used in research papers. They vary among academic disciplines:

  • The Modern Language Association (MLA) style is often used in the Humanities (English, Theater, Art, Music, etc.). 
     

  • The American Psychological Association (APA) style is recommended in the social sciences (history, sociology, psychology, anthropology, human services, etc.).
     

  • Chicago is usually required for natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities.

Check with your instructor regarding which style you should use for your research work.
