Choosing a documnetation style

• MLA- Modern language association (English papers)
• APA- American psychological association (Social Sciences
• Chicago

Select the appropriate ciataion for what you are citing.

MLA and APA are similar because the citations refer to a list at the end of the paper. There are also a few differences between the two, author's name, date of publication, page numbers, and verb tense in signal phrases can differ between the two.

Chicago style is the style you should use when you are dealing with a large number of citations. Instead of the author's name after the citation there is just a number, which then you can refer to the work cited to see the source information.

If not positive on which to use consult a style manual.
