Bibliographic Citation Guides
Please note that “style” in this context refers to styles or systems of documentation, not to individual writing styles.
NoodleBib
NoodleBib is not a citation style; instead, it is a website that helps students create citations for MLA, APA, and Chicago styles.
MLA Style Guide
The Modern Language Association (MLA) does not publish their style guide on the Web, but the Online Writing Lab at Purdue offers an excellent guide to MLA style. This style is used mostly by Literature and Language departments and sometimes by other disciplines in the Humanities, including art history.
APA Style Guide
Like the MLA, the APA (the American Psychological Association) has not yet joined the 21st century and refuses to give web access to their style guide rules. However, once again, the Online Writing Lab at Purdue is there to help out hard-pressed students and researchers with their excellent and authoritative guide to APA style. This style is used most often in the social sciences, which includes sociology and psychology.
University of Chicago Style Guide
The University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Writing Center offers the best free guide to Chicago/Turabian style online. This style is most often used in the writing of history.
