Citation

There are many different citation styles, though at WMCC you will likely either use MLA or APA. Your field of study dictates which citation style you should use for your paper. As a general rule, Humanities subjects use MLA Style, and the Sciences use APA style documentation and formatting. However, your instructor may give you an option to choose either APA or MLA. Check your syllabus if you are unsure. Once you choose one style, it is important you remain consistent throughout your paper. The Library can help you with citation! Contact us with questions about citation, formatting, and using information responsibly.
