Different style of citing a research paper

Description:

Academic disciplines have varying expectations about how reference data is listed. In some cases, up to two magazines in the same field use different styles. This guide covers the three main styles used in Yale. All three of these styles require the same basic knowledge, but their order varies in part because different academic fields emphasize different elements of the source when referring to previous research. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Different style of citing a research paper

Introduction
  • Academic disciplines have varying expectations
    about how reference data is listed. In some
    cases, up to two magazines in the same field use
    different styles. This guide covers the three
    main styles used in Yale. All three of these
    styles require the same basic knowledge, but
    their order varies in part because different
    academic fields emphasize different elements of
    the source when referring to previous research.
    The first two styles are called in-text citation
    styles, which means you provide some information
    about the source immediately after the offer, but
    leave the rest in the list of citations or
    mentioned

Introduction

Works at the end of the paper
  • Works at the end of the paper (1) The MLA style,
    distinct by the modern language union, is the
    most common in the humanities. Because humanities
    studies highlight how, one writing affects
    another, the MLA style emphasizes the authors
    name and page in the original text you use. This
    information allows researchers to easily trace
    your exact sentences that you are analyzing. (2)
    The APA style defined by the American
    Psychological Association is the most common in
    the social sciences. While the authors name is
    an important part of APA citations, this style
    emphasizes the year of publication of the source
    rather than the page number, allowing the reader
    to quickly see how the research you are writing
    has evolved over time.
  • An alternative to textual content is to use
    footnotes that provide source information at the
    bottom of the page. The footnote style we show
    here is called the Chicago style as defined by
    the University of Chicago. The Chicago style is
    especially popular in historical research. When a
    historical explanation is developed from multiple
    primary sources, the use of footnotes instead of
    the addition of enclosed information allows the
    reader to focus on the evidence rather than the
    publication information interfering with that
    evidence. Footnotes can be viewed if someone
    wants to trace your source for further
    investigation.

The Chicago style is more flexible than the MLA
and APA formats
  • The Chicago style is more flexible than the MLA
    and APA formats, and therefore more complex to
    explain. See the notes on Chicago style footnotes
    for more information on treating Chicago style in
    this guide. Each of these three styles has a
    different practice of how to refer to the source
    in the paper body. See Signal Sources in the
    Paper Body for more information.
  • Note Some books written in MLA or APA style also
    include so-called discursive footnotes. Instead
    of giving only the author and title of the
    sources, these notes address in a sentence or two
    some aspects of the evidence that are not part of
    the main argument of the paper. Discursive
    footnotes are also welcome in Chicago style, and
    many papers that use Chicago style footnotes
    confuse discursive footnotes with others that
    only provide bibliographic information. See where
    to mention for more information on such a
    footnote.

Conclusion
  • You should check with your instructors for the
    style they want you to wear. If you are unsure,
    remember that the purpose of the references is to
    help the reader who wants to know your sources
    directly. Enter enough information to make the
    search easy.
