Citation Styles Commonly Used in Arts and Humanities#
Citation style refers to specific rules and guidelines for documenting sources in academic writing. Your instructors may specify citation style for specific assignments or courses.
- Citation Styles (e.g. APA, MLA, or Chicago, etc.) have unique formats for citing various sources.
- Each citation style provides guidelines on how to format citations for various sources.
- Each citation style has its own specific formatting guidelines (e.g. hanging indent, line spacing, margin, etc.).
- Different information formats require different citation formats.
- Stick to one citation style and use it consistently throughout your work. This means that all your citations, both in-text and in the reference list or bibliography, should follow the same style guideline.
