Citing Sources (Citation Styles) A short guide to citing your sources in APA, MLA, Chicago, and Turabian formats




Many Social Science disciplines use APA format for citing sources.  The most recent guide is the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association 6th Edition.  See our additional page to format in-text or parenthetical citations.  
The following examples of the most commons types of citations are adapted from the 6th edition (2010) of the APA manual.  For additional examples, consult chapter 7 (pages 193-224) of the APA Manual or browse the APA Style online guide athttp://www.apastyle.org/index.aspx
