Latina/o, Latin American, and Caribbean Studies is an interdisciplinary field, and it uses multiple citation styles from the humanities and social sciences, including APA, Chicago, and MLA. Among these, the specific citation style that scholars and students use depends on the specific discipline and audience of their work. Although each style has a different format and emphasizes different aspects of citations, they all have the same goal of acknowledging sources and providing a record for future scholars to be able to locate the original source.
