The documentation style you use depends on the disciplinary area of the course you are taking, e.g., English or Nursing. Your teacher will tell you which style to use.

Some documentation styles used at WPHS include:

• APA (American Psychological Association) Documentation style, used by scholars in psychology, nursing, and various of the social sciences. Uses parenthetical in-text citations and bibliography (Reference List) at end of paper.
• MLA (Modern Language Association) Documentation, 8th Edition style, used primarily by those in literary studies, as well as some of the humanities. Uses parenthetical in-text citations and bibliography (Works Cited) at end of paper.(Note: Need the MLA 7th edition?)
• Turabian Documentation style, or Chicago style, used mostly by scholars and writers in history, art, and music. Uses footnotes and bibliography at end of paper.
