Overview of citations and guides to commonly used citation styles.
NOTE: Pages for individual citation styles have been merged into this single Style Guides page.  Please update any links; individual style guide pages will be deleted at the end of the Spring semester.

Overview

The way that citations appear depends on the citation style, which is a set of established conventions for documenting sources. There are different sets of conventions for different fields of study and scholarship.

On this page are links to guidance for many of the most common styles. For assignments, when in doubt, consult with your instructor.

On the guide's navigation menu, you will find links to other valuable information about citation:

APA

MLA

Chicago

Note: The 18th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style was published in September 2024. Some external guides have not yet been updated. Confirm with faculty about citation expectations.
