What needs to be cited?

Paraphrased ideas that you found in a source (book, articles, blogs, etc.)
Not commonly known facts.

Citation Styles

Citation Style Guides

See our guides with helpful tips and examples for popular citation styles such as APA, MLA, Turabian, Chicago Style, and more.*

There are many different "styles" you may choose from when citing sources. Your professor will probably tell you which "style" is preferred for your class. MLA (Modern Language Association), Chicago, and APA (American Psychological Association) are three of the most commonly used citation styles, but there are hundreds.

The entire Chicago Manual of Style is now also available in GALILEO (access restricted to UGA affiliates).
