CITATION STYLES

Most courses at TWU require that citations be formatted according to one of three styles: APA, Chicago/Turabian, or MLA.

Purdue University’s Online Writing Lab provides overviews for all major styles and gives examples of how to cite resources and organize papers according to each style.

APA 7th edition, MLA 9th edition, and Chicago 17th edition.

APA 7

APA (American Psychological Association)
style is most commonly used to
cite sources within the social sciences.

MLA

MLA Style specifies guidelines
for formatting manuscripts
and citing research in writing.

CHICAGO

The Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) is most
commonly used by those working in
literature, history, and the arts.
