These methods are called as referencing styles or citation styles.  \nVarious referencing styles differ in terms of formatting, use of punctuation and the order of information; such differences occur at both the levels of referencing i.e. in-text citation, and reference list.  \nThe publishers or the academic institutions decide their citing styles.  \nReferencing Styles  \n Some common and widely used citation styles are:  \no Harvard  \no Vancouver  \no APA (American Psychological Association) Referencing Style  \no MLA ((Modern Language Association) Referencing Style  \no Chicago/ Turabian Referencing Style  \nReferencing Styles  \nThere are other styles that are not that common but are still required at some places:  \no ACS (American Chemical Society)  \no AGLC (Australian Guide to Legal Citation)  \no AMA (American Medical Association)  \no CSE/ CBE (Council of Science Editors/ Council of Biology Editors)  \no IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)  \nReferencing Styles  \nThe system used by various types of referencing styles can broadly be categorized into two types: documentary-note system, and parenthetical system.  \no Documentary-note system refers to the use of chronological numbers as in-text markers to either footnotes or endnotes or both; footnotes are included at the end of each page, and endnotes are listed on a separate page at the end of the document; in text citation is done with a numeric digit; detailed references in endnotes or reference list may or may not be indicated by numeric digit depending on the particular referencing style.  \nParenthetical system refers to the use of brief author and date description as in-text citation surrounded by parenthesis (round brackets) and then the detailed reference is provided as a separate list at the end of the document.","cbCaipnTkzZJ7e3t","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipnTkzZJ7e3t","pdf",904268,26,"English","# What is Referencing?\n## Purpose of Referencing\n# Referencing Styles\n## Common Citation Styles\n## Other Citation Styles\n## Two Broad Categories of Referencing Systems","[{\"question\":\"What is referencing (citation) in research?\",\"answer\":\"Referencing is a method of acknowledging and recognizing someone’s innovative work that was used in research to support ideas.
