Citation Styles

When you incorporate or reference the work of others in your writing, you must cite your sources. Citations make your arguments more credible, and help build a solid foundation for your own research. Follow these links to help format your papers and citations according to various citation styles. And remember, when using a citation generator, always double check that it correctly formats the final citation (there are often small errors)!
