When finishing a good copy of your work, research and crediting your research sources go together. A key part of doing quality work is crediting your sources. Style guides provide the standards for these citations and references (always check with your teacher to see which style is required for the class/course).
The citation style guide that you are required to follow when researching depends on your subject/area and your teacher’s expectations. The two main style guides are the Modern Language Association of America (MLA) and the American Psychological Association (APA). APA is used mainly for English and Literary studies, while APA is used for most other studies such as; Business, Design & Technology, Education, Geography, Mathematics, Physical Education/Health, Science, and Social Sciences.
