Referencing styles
There are several different styles of
referencing:
APA

MLA

Oxford

Harvard

Chicago

Each style has its own rules for properly

citing sources.
Author-date styles (e.g. APA, MLA, and Harvard) put the author's

name inside the text of the assignment

Documentary-note styles (e.g. Chicago and Oxford) put the

author's name in a footnote at the bottom of each page, or in an

endnote at the end of the assignment

All of the most common styles list every

source used in a document at the end, in
a reference list or bibliography
(see reference list vs. bibliography for
the difference between these).
The styles differ in format. For example,
an APA in-text citation incorporates the
author's name, the year of publication,
and sometimes the page number,
separated by a comma:
(Lazar, 2006, p. 52)

An MLA in-text citation, on the other

hand, does not include the year or
commas:
(Lazar 52)

Likewise, an APA reference list

entry puts the year in brackets after the
author's name:
Lazar, J. (2006). Web usability: A user-centered design
approach. Boston, MA: Pearson Addison Wesley.

An MLA works cited entry puts the year

nearer the end of the entry:
Lazar, Jonathan. Web Usability: A User-Centered Design
Approach. Boston: Pearson Addison Wesley,
2006. Print.

There are other differences between

these two styles: APA gives first intials
whereas MLA uses full first names; MLA
includes the medium at the end of the
entry. When formatting a reference,
follow the style you have been set
closely.
