First, make sure you know which citation style to use. Your professor should specify which they prefer.

Most standard citation questions can be answered by consulting the Purdue OWL guides. Make sure to choose the one for your required citation style:

APA (American Psychological Association)

MLA (Modern Language Association)

Chicago

Use the menu at the left side of the Purdue OWL pages to navigate to different pages in order to see citation guidelines for different types of sources.
