Depending on the subject and your teacher's preference, you may be required to use more than one citation format. For example, your English teacher might prefer MLA, your history teacher may prefer Chicago, and your psychology teacher wants you to use APA.

Knowing the difference between each format can mean the difference between an "A" and a "B" on your research paper. Use the links above to help you access the official guidelines of each format.
