6. REFERENCING



When you submit an academic paper, you will be required to follow a style guide. A style guide determines, among other things, how in-text citations should appear:

a. Smith (1799, p.9) argues that…
b. Smith (1799) argues that… (p.9)
c. Smith argues that… (1799, p.9)

The three most frequently used style guides are APA (Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association), MLA (Modern Language Association’s Style Manual) and CMOS (Chicago Manual of Style). Be sure to use the style guide recommended by your instructor, regardless of the way in which in-text citations are used in sentences 286-329.
