Citation Styles

You can use any style of citation that you are comfortable with; the key is to be consistent! For help with citation, please see the UBC Library How to Cite guide

Common Faculty of Arts styles are:

• APA - citation style commonly used the Social Sciences
• MLA - citation style commonly used in the Humanities
•  American Anthropologist style (AAA)
  AAA uses The Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition, 2003) and Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (11th edition, 2006). If there is no rule available for your source material in the AAA guide, follow The Chicago Manual of Style. UBC Library subscribes to The Chicago Manual of Style online (fully searchable), or you can consult a print copy in Koerner Library.

Keeping Track of Your Citations

A citation management tool can help you keep track of and format citations. The Research Commons in Koerner Library  offers weekly workshops on three of the most popular citation management tools: RefWorks, Mendeley, and Zotero. They also offer individual consultation appointments, via the link under "Consultations" on the main Research Commons page or email them at research.commons@ubc.ca.
