Q. How do I cite my sources? I need help with citations.

Citing your sources depends on what format you are expected to use in your class for your assignment. If you are unclear which to use, ask your instructor. 

At Sinclair the most commonly used formats are MLA and APA. A good resource for citing all different types of sources is the Purdue OWL, which has style guides for MLA Formatting and APA Formatting.

Other frequently asked citation questions are listed below, including additional links to a few other citation styles. If you don't see your question listed or you need more help, check out our Citation Styles Help Guide.

If you still can't find your answer or need more help with writing your paper, it is highly recommended to contact the Sinclair Writing Lab.
