Citation Style Resources

According to the Kean Academic Integrity Policy, you must always acknowledge (cite) the source of any words, ideas, data, images, music, etc. used in your papers, presentations, etc. This guide covers some of the most commonly used citation styles.

Citation Style Guides

The Nancy Thompson Learning Commons (NTLC) offers a variety of citation style guides. You can find print copies of these guides at the Access Services Desk on the first floor of the NTLC.

The NTLC provides several online citation manuals, including the following: the AMA Manual of Style (11th Edition), the APA Style Manual (American Psychological Association), the AP Stylebook (Associated Press), the Chicago Manual of Style Online (The University of Chicago), and the MLA Handbook Plus (Modern Language Association).
