CHLS 104 - Shaver Fall 2020: Citation Help

Citation Styles

  • Be mindful of proper citation.
  • Review what type of format your assignment calls for by reading your assignment's guidelines and/or asking your Professor.

Helpful Hint: Many databases have citation buttons/options to generate a specific citation for an article's information, which can save you time and energy in the long-run. However, please be advised, that many times these automatic citation generators can generate a citation incorrectly.

It is your responsibility to always double check it yourself by consulting your citation handbook or citation manual for current and correct guidelines! Check out this library guide for more information on Citation Styles!
