22 Citation Styles

Citation Styles

You need to use a particular citation style that you must apply consistently throughout your paper. Sometimes, your instructor will tell you which style to use, other times you get to choose.

The two main citation styles used at East Central University are:

APA and MLA.  However, some professors may request the use of  CHICAGO STYLE
