Which style should I Use for My Research?
Often, which citation style you should use depends on which academic discipline you are conducitng research for.
For example:
- APA (American Psychological Association) is used by Education, Psychology, and Sciences
- MLA (Modern Language Association) style is used by the Humanities
- Chicago/Turabian style is generally used by Business, History, and the Fine Arts
Be sure to always ask your teacher/professor which style guidelines they prefer you use in their specific course.
