It is common to cite others to support one’s point of view. However, the wrong citation format is not only unconvincing, but can also lead to copyright disputes. Next, let me introduce in detail how to use several common citation formats.
1. APA format: mainly used in social science articles and researches, the citation format is: author’s full name + year of publication. 2.
2. MLA format: mainly used in humanities articles, such as history, citation format: author’s full name + page number. 3.
