Locating and Using Agricultural Resources

Different citation formats are used by different academic disciplines.  Professors will often require a particular format, but if they have no preference these guidelines may be helpful:

• APA - psychology, education, and other social sciences
• MLA - literature, arts, and humanities
• Turabian - designed for college students to use with all subjects
• Chicago - used with all subjects in the "real world" by books, magazines, newspapers and other non-scholarly publications

Each discipline has a preferred citation style.  Various websites point to the desired citation style for each discipline.
