How do I cite a source using a specific style?
Answer
Scholars benefit greatly from uniform citations. "Accurate citations allow those performing peer-review to double-check the work and provide feedback to correct for honest errors, to request clarification for differing interpretations, or suggest other possible resources. It also allows others to locate research to inform their own inquiry." from Citations: Using Citations to Find More Scholarship.
Citations are important; however, the format (capitalization, punctuation, italics, etc.) can vary significantly between styles. The library has resources for you on popular citation styles (like MLA, APA, Chicago, and more), scientific styles (such as ACS and CSE), and legal citations using The Bluebook.
