Formats
for citing are consistent so that other researchers may quickly identify
the sources you used and easily locate them. To find the guidelines
for a particular format you will need to look in a style manual. Your
Lecturer will recommend a particular style manual as the style you use depends on the discipline you are working in.
Some Commonly Used Citation Styles include:
APA - American Psychological Association
MLA - Modern Language Association
Harvard Style
Chicago Style
Each style manual format includes
the same basic parts of that citation, but may organise them slightly
differently.
