How You Should Cite Sources
Harvard, Chicago, and MLA Styles
There are different styles to reference sources. In this conference, we will focus on three of them: Harvard, Chicago, and MLA.
Harvard style is a widely used format to cite sources across most subjects. Despite its name, it is not tied to Harvard University. In fact, no organization sets its standard and that is why there are different variations of it. That implies that you should choose a variation and use it consistently. For example, some variations use a parenthesis to present the date while others do not.
Chicago referencing style is very used in the humanities (especially in literature, history, and the arts). The Chicago Manual of Style is published by the University of Chicago Press. It includes two basic documentation systems: a) author-date and b) notes and bibliography. In this conference, we will focus on the former.
The Modern Language Association (MLA) referencing style is most used in the humanities. It uses a system that consists of two parts: citations in text and the works cited list that is included at the end of the paper. What makes it different from other styles is that citations in the text point out (using numbers) to the works cited list.
