Style guides are used to determine the correct way to write papers and document sources you have used while researching your essays and reports. There are many different style guides, however, at Camosun the three most common citation styles used are APA, MLA, and Chicago style.
APA style is often used in the Social Sciences. Be sure to consult your assignment guidelines or check with your instructor to determine which style you should use for your paper.
We also have a guide to creating an annotated bibliography with examples in APA, MLA, and Chicago formats.
