Academic Writings and Citation Styles In academic writing, whenever we use someone else’s works, ideas, theory, quotes, methods, data, etc. we must cite the original source Citation styles are the rules that govern on how we format these citations There are many different citation styles set up by different academic bodies or publishers. The most commonly used ones include the APA style, MLA style and the Chicago style 3

Examples of Different Citation Styles APA Style Sample  Chen, L.H. (2007). Choosing Canadian graduate schools from afar: East Asian students’ perspectives. Higher Education, 54(5), MLA Style Sample  Chen, Liang Hsuan. "Choosing Canadian Graduate Schools from Afar: East Asian Students’ Perspectives." Higher Education 54.5 (2007): Citation Builder  4
