Citation Styles
Regardless of your source (e.g., website, journal article, book chapter), a variety of citation styles exists and your professor likely has a preference. For any assignment requiring source references it is useful to check with your professor about his/her preferred format.
See below for examples of citations written in relatively common styles:
Chicago
MLA
APA
