There are many different styles for formatting citations used by different academic disciplines and publishers, including APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian and Vancouver. See the sections on this guide for details and formatting guides for each specific style. Another resource is the Purdue University Writing Lab.
You can also get help formatting citations by using citation tools such as a citation generator or a citation manager. To learn more about these tools see the Citation Tools section.
For course assignments always consult your course syllabus or instructor to see which citation style is required.
