Citation Styles and RefWorks

When you write a paper sometimes writer want to use ideas that they have read in information other resources. example writers may want to use a quotation the writer must indicate that the idea or the words came from someone else and give credit to that writer.  This action indicating that writers’ words are not original but rather from another source is called citing. This paper focuses on the types of citation styles and I selected the library resource that describes about different citation styles. Some of the citation styles is American Psychological Association (APA) citation, (MLA) style Modern Language Association, Chicago/Turabian , American Chemical Society (ACS) American Sociological Association (ASA)  and Citing Government Publications  those are electronic sources as Web Publications. 

       APA (American Psychological Association) style is most commonly used to cite sources within the social sciences. For various sources may be formatted differently, all included sources (books, articles, Web sites, etc.) This resource, revised according to APA manual, offers examples for the general format of APA research papers, in-text citations Contributors names (Last edited date). Title of resource Retrieved from http:// Web address for the resource. MLA style and also formatted differently, all included sources (books, articles, Web sites, etc.)specifies guidelines for formatting manuscripts and using the English language in writing. MLA style also provides writers with a system for referencing their sources through parenthetical citation in their essays and Works Cited pages. When we use Online Article from a Database Last name , Firstname. "Article Title." Journal Title volumenumber.issuenumber (year): pages. Database Name. Web. date accessed. Chicago Manual of Style This section contains information on the Chicago Manual of Style method of document formatting and citation.

      The Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) covers a variety of topics from manuscript preparation and publication to grammar, usage, and documentation and has been lovingly called the “editors’ bible.” The material in this resource focuses primarily on one of the two CMS documentation styles: the Notes-Bibliography System (NB), which is used by those in literature, history, and the arts The Chicago NB system is often used in the humanities and provides writers with a system for referencing their sources through footnote or endnote citation in their writing and through bibliography pages. It also offers writers an outlet for commenting on those cited sources. The NB system is most commonly used in the discipline of history.

       These sours contain Introduction to notes, Introduction to bibliographies and Common Elements Author’s Names Titles, Publication Information and also Punctuation. When we talks about another Citation Styles it is American Sociological Association (ASA) and American Chemical Society (ACS) This resource covers American Sociological Association (ASA) style and includes information about manuscript formatting, in-text citations, formatting the references page, and accepted manuscript writing style. When we see Reference Examples Book with One Author Author's full name, inverted so that last name appears first. Year. Book Title in Title Caps and Italicized. Publishing City: Publisher. ACS style conventions for citing references within a manuscript and for listing complete reference. this citation In ACS publications, you may cite references in text in three ways: first  By superscript numbers, which appear outside the punctuation if the citation applies to a whole sentence or clause. Second way by italic numbers in parentheses on the line of text and inside the punctuation third by author name and year of publication in parentheses inside the punctuation  (known as author–date).  Final for this paper is Citing Government Publications consisting of documents issued by local, regional, or national governments or by their agencies or subdivisions for this citing we can uses APA and MLA style.
