Each discipline uses its own citation style; therefore, when it comes time to document sources for a paper, you will have to make sure that you choose and follow the appropriate guidelines for the discipline you are writing in. Ask each of your teachers which style they want you to use. If they have no preference, you can use any or follow these guidelines:
:: APA style: psychology, education, and other social sciences.
:: MLA style: literature, arts, and humanities.
:: AMA style: medicine, health, and biological sciences.
:: Turabian style: designed for college students to use with all subjects.
:: Chicago style: used with all subjects in the "real world" by books, magazines, newspapers, and other
non-scholarly publications.
:: CBE style: natural sciences.
