Check Documentation

Your academic paper must included a listing of your references and citations. Check your documentation according to your particular discipline. Ask your professor which style should be used for your paper. For example, typically:

• humanities subjects use either MLA or the Chicago/Turabian (footnote) styles;
• social-science subjects use APA style; and
• science subjects use CBE style.

Refer to the appropriate style manual for the system you will use.
