Citing Your Sources

Avoid plagiarism by citing your sources properly.

Guides to citing

MLA Style

APA Style

Chicago Style

This style is commonly used for U.S. book publishing and in academic journals in the humanities and social sciences. Two types of citations are permitted:

1. Notes and bibliography. This can be either footnotes or endnotes with an optional bibliography at the end. 

2. Author-date. One adds parenthetical references in the text and a list of references or works cited  at the end of the paper. 

For help with this style and similar ones, see:

1. Emory's subscription to the online for the latest version Chicago Manual of Style

2. Purdue OWL Writing Lab examples

3. Turabian's style:  A manual for writers of research papers, theses, and dissertations : Chicago Style for students and researchers / Kate L. Turabian. Call number: LB2369 .T8 2018 (located on the 5th floor of the Woodruff Library)

4. CSE Manual: Scientific Style and Format for Authors, Editors, and Publishers online {waiting for updated link to new edition}
 
Use Zotero, ZoteroBib or EndNote to create these styles for you. Emory Librarians support these citation tools that are available for Emory University.
