Citation Styles (APA, MLA, Chicago)
Citation Styles are sets of rules for giving credit to the sources you use in your writing. Each style (like APA, MLA, or Chicago) has its own way of formatting this information, such as how to list authors, titles, and dates. For example:
- APA is often used in science and psychology.
- MLA is common in literature and humanities.
- Chicago is popular in history and publishing.
In short, they’re like different "languages" for citing sources, depending on the subject or field.
