Academic Writings and Citation Styles
In academic writing, whenever we use someone else’s works, ideas, theory, quotes, methods, data, etc. we must acknowledge the original source. You need to cite them properly by using one of the recognized citation styles
Citation styles are the rules that govern on how we format these citations
There are many different citation styles set up by different academic bodies or publishers. The commonly used ones include the APA style, MLA style and the Chicago style, etc.
Consult your lecturer on the required citation styles

Examples of Different Citation Styles
APA Style Sample Chen, L. H. (2007). Choosing Canadian graduate
schools from afar: East Asian students’ perspectives. Higher Education, 54(5), 759-780.
