*Latinx and Latin American Studies: General Research Guide

Citation

Because Latinx and Latin American Studies involves interdisciplinary coursework, you may need to use a variety of citation styles; resources for the major citation styles are available below.

APA is the most common citation styles that you will use in your classes, but when in doubt, always check with your professor. Purdue OWL has an excellent APA guide available online, that contains information about citations, formatting, and basic style. A print copy of the official handbook is also available at the Research Help desk, in the reference collection.

Give credit where credit is due. By properly citing the sources you use in your research projects you are both identifying the resources that you used to complete your work and you are formally acknowledging the authors or creators of those resources.
