Cite Your Sources
Printer Friendly Version
Get ready to cite your sources as you do your research. That means noting the citation information for sources
as you select them. Adopt a bibliographic style and use it to give credit
whenever you use someone else's words or ideas in your writing. The most
common bibliographic styles used at WCJC for documenting sources of information
are:
APA (American Psychological Association):
commonly used to cite sources within the social sciences.
MLA (Modern Language Association of America):
commonly used to write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities.
AMA (American Medical Association):
scholarly writing about medicine or health-related topics, or about other subjects in the sciences.
Chicago (University of Chicago):
commonly used in history and other humanities fields.
