| Citation Styles Choosing
A Style: MLA or APA |
Ivy Tech
instructors may ask you to cite sources using one of the citation
styles below:
- APA:
The style recommended by the American Psychology Association
and considered a scientific style for courses such as psychology.
- MLA:
The style recommended by the Modern Language Association
and often used within many humanities courses, such as English composition,
literature, history, and some technical writing courses.
Which
style you should use may already be determined by your instructor.
Be sure to check which is required for your coursework. Stick
with one citation style within the same assignment, (either
APA or MLA), for consistency.
