How do I cite something in my paper?
Answer
Citing your sources
Different disciplines use different citation styles to cite sources (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.). Check your course syllabus or speak with your instructor if you're unsure which citation style to use.
APA: social and behavioral sciences, natural sciences, nursing, communications, education, business, engineering, and other fields
MLA: language arts, cultural studies, and other humanities disciplines
Chicago: literature, history, and the arts
