2. How You Should Cite
Sources
Harvard, Chicago, and
MLA Styles

3. There are different styles to reference
sources. In this conference, we will focus on
three of them: Harvard, Chicago, and MLA.

4. Harvard style is a widely used format to cite sources
across most subjects. Despite its name, it is not tied to
Harvard University. In fact, no organization sets its
standard and that is why there are different variations of
it. That implies that you should choose a variation and use
it consistently. For example, some variations use a
parenthesis to present the date while others do not.

5. Chicago referencing style is very used in the humanities
(especially in literature, history, and the arts). The Chicago
Manual of Style is published by the University of Chicago Press.
It includes two basic documentation systems: a) author-date
and b) notes and bibliography.
In this conference, we will focus on the former.

6. The Modern Language Association (MLA) referencing style is
most used in the humanities. It uses a system that consists of
two parts: citations in text and the works cited list that is
included at the end of the paper. What makes it different from
other styles is that citations in the text point out (using
numbers) to the works cited list.
