Writing was connecting with us campus life, so I chose talk
about Citation Style and Reworks. This page was introduced about writing style.
The two main writing styles were APA style and MLA style.
APA style was American
Psychological Association. APA style provides a standard system for giving
credit to others for their contribution to your work. It's what we call a
"parenthetical" documentation style, meaning that citations to
original sources appear in your text. This allows the reader to see immediately
where your information comes from, and it saves you the trouble of having to
make footnotes or endnotes. The APA style calls for three kinds of information
to be included in in-text citations. The author's last name and the work's date
of publication must always appear, and these items must match exactly the
corresponding entry in the references list. The third kind of information, the
page number, appears only in a citation to a direct quotation. (THE WRITING
CENTER)
MLA Style the first line of each paragraph in the research
paper is to be indented one-half inch from the left margin.
MLA style is the Format your
essay according to the correct guide lines for citation. The MLA research paper
format is the most popular style, as it is most widely used in all levels of
study and by all academic departments.
MLA in –text citation:
· If the author’s name is
mentioned in the text, only the page number is given in parentheses at the end
of the citation.
· If the author’s name is not
mentioned in the text, then both the last name of the author and the page
number should be given in parentheses.
