What is the easiest way to cite sources in a research paper?

Question

justjm · Answer

Depends on your univ professor or teacher, if they want it MLA (normally it's that) then you can go online and there are sites that do it for you.

It also depends on your paper's topic, which could choose if it's a Chicago or APA style

All my teachers have made my do MLA except for my psych teacher, who preferred APA but didn't care. MLA is the most commonly used in colleges and schools. Read this if you want to know more: https://www.easybib.com/guides/citation-guides/citation-basics/mla-apa-chicagoturabian/
