Sources in MLA or APA  \nWhy cite sources  \n• Your teacher requires it.  \n• Your readers can check your sources for accuracy or context.  \n• Your topic and/or writing may inspire your readers to research your topic in more depth and the bibliography/works cited list can give them a place to start.  \n• In order to avoid plagiarism, it is important to “Give credit where credit is due” and always identify the source of nonoriginal material used in your paper .  \n• A quick scan of your citations gives your readers an idea of the caliber of your sources and thus the caliber of your exposition .  \nWhen citing sources  \n• Be consistent with style elements .  \n• Include all available appropriate information to enable readers to find your source .  \n• Adhere to style guidelines so that your readers can quickly determine the format* of the original source .  \n• Create bibliographic/work cited citations on-the-fly as you research your topic .  \n• Create a citation for each useful resource whether you quote or paraphrase anything from it in the final paper or not – sources not cited within the body of the paper should not be included in the final works cited list.  \n* Format may be book, journal article, newspaper article, Web page, interview, radio broadcast, doctoral thesis, government report, blog, and so on . Each format will require slightly different information in the citation to enable future retrieval.  \nStyle Guides  \nThere are many style manuals that provide guidelines for specific disciplines, industries, or uses. A few of the most popular manuals are listed below; there are others so be sure to use the manual recommended by your instructor.  \nLegal documents  \n• The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation  \n• ALWD Citation Manual  \nJournalism  \n• The Associated Press Stylebook  \n• The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage  \nAcademic – Humanities, English, Philosophy  \n• MLA Style Manual  \n• Chicago Manual of Style  \n• A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (Terabian)  \nAcademic – Social Sciences, Psychology  \n• American Psychological Association (APA) Style Guide  \n• American Sociological Association Style Guide  \nAcademic – Sciences  \n• ACS Style Guide  \n• Geoscience Reporting Guidelines  \n• IEEE Style  \n• Scientific Style and Format; The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers  \nOnline Writing Style Resources  \nAmerican Psychological Association (APA)  \n[http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/](http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/)  \nModern Language Association (MLA)  \n[http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/](http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/)  \nExamples of Citations  \nBelow are example citations for the most frequently used sources in both APA and MLA formats. The first example in each set is generic to illustrate the elements and punctuation of the citation; the second example illustrates an actual citation.  \nRemember that there are guidelines for a huge array of sources and the examples below are the most basic. For help with items that deviate from the basics below, such as have more than one author, come from a series, or are contained within an anthology, refer to the appropriate manual or online resource.  \nBook  \nAPA  \nAuthor, A.
