In the databases you also see citations that uniquely identify each article.
Each database has decided for itself:
- which pieces of information to include
- how to organize and format them.
You have all the necessary pieces to write a citation but need to reformat them.
The two most common citation styles are:
- APA
- American Psychological Association
- MLA
- Modern Language Association
Which one does your instructor require? At JFKU, we use primarily APA style.
