Works Cited/Bibliography

Trabajos citados / bibliografía

The Purdue OWL MLA Research and Citation Resources is going to be your main guide for creating your citations. Make sure to look through the left-hand menu to find the type of resource you are trying to cite so that you do it correctly. Keep in mind there are three kinds of citation used at Peekskill High School-

"MLA (Modern Language Association) style is most commonly used to write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities."

"APA (American Psychological Association) style is most commonly used to cite sources within the social sciences."

There are "two CMOS documentation styles: the Notes-Bibliography System (NB), which is used by those working in literature, history, and the arts. The other documentation style, the Author-Date System, is nearly identical in content but slightly different in form and is preferred by those working in the social sciences."
