Citation Styles Comparing MLA Chicago and APA

12
The Purdue OWL: Citation Chart 1 Category MLA APA CMS General Approach The Modern Language Association (MLA) provides a method for source documentation that is used in most humanities courses. The humanities place emphasis on authorship, so most MLA citation involves recording the author’s name in the physical text. The author’s name is also the first to appear in the “Works Cited” page at the end of an essay. The most recent MLA formatting can be found in the seventh edition of the MLA manual. The American Psychological Association (APA) provides a method for source documentation that is used is most social science courses. The social sciences place emphasis on the date a work was created, so most APA citation involves recording the date of a particular work in the physical text. The date is usually placed immediately after the author’s name in the “References” page at the end of an essay. The most recent APA formatting can be found in the sixth edition of the APA manual. The Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) provides a method for source documentation that is used in most history courses. History places much emphasis on source origins, so footnotes and endnotes are used to demonstrate on‐page where a particular piece of information was derived from. In CMS, a number is assigned to a particular fact in the text, and a footnote or endnote will appear at the bottom of the page linking the source to the text. The most recent CMS formatting can be found in the sixteenth edition of the CMS manual. Citing Books Book citations in MLA generally require the author name, work title, publication city, publisher, year published, and an indication of the publication medium, such as print. Book citations in APA generally require author name, publication year, work title, publication city, and publisher. Book citations in CMS style generally require the author name, work title, publication city, publisher, and publication year. General book format Pollan, Michael. The Omnivore’s Dilemma.
