Citation Styles

Citation styles are used to format certain pieces of information (for example, author, title, publisher, place and year of publication for a book; author, article title and periodical title, date, volume and page numbers for a periodical) about an information source. Complete and properly formatted citations are used to identify and locate an information source.

You will find that citation styles vary by academic discipline. The following are citation styles and the academic disciplines or groups with which they are most commonly associated.
