When you use the words, ideas, or creations of someone else, cite them. To make it easier to keep track of your sources, try a citation tool like Zotero. Not sure how to properly format your citations? Citation styles (MLA, APA, Chicago) give you detailed guidelines. The citation style you use will depend on the discipline, journal, or course for which you are writing. 

• A style guide or style manual is a set of standards for the writing and design of documents, either for general use or for a specific publication, organization or field.
• A style guide provides uniformity in style and formatting within a document and across multiple documents.
• Your professor will tell you which citation style to use for your paper or thesis. If not, the following list provides a general guide:
  • APA: Psychology, Education
  • ASA: Sociology
  • CBE/CSE: Biology, Natural Sciences, Neuroscience
  • Chicago/Turabian: History, Art History, Political Science
  • MLA (8th edition or 9th edition): English, Humanities
