What Citation Style Do I Need to Use?

Often your instructor will tell you what citation style he or she wants you to use, such as APA or MLA styles. Otherwise, different disciplines have unique styles that are preferred.

Purdue University's Online Writing Lab (OWL) offers a website with a list of citation styles by discipline, as well as a discussion of different styles:
