To show examples of the different citation types, a random article available on the internet was chosen. That said, the information is believed to be accurate as of the time of this writing. Please note the author assumes no responsibility for inaccurate information since achieving expert status on all formats is very difficult. All citations in this article will be in APA format except when giving examples for other guidelines. UNLV (2007) lists guidelines used in different disciplines, but this article will focus on four of them (1) American Psychological Association (APA), (2) Modern Language Association (MLA), (3) Chicago Manual of Style, and (4) Turabian.
When no stated preferences are available, or the paper is for internet publication, any of the standard formats is acceptable, and using the format the author is most comfortable with is the best choice. Many ways to cite sources exist, and most publications specify which format is required.

Proper citing of sources prevents plagiarism, and establishes credibility for the author and the paper. One of the issues many authors have is how to cite sources properly.
