Depending on the course, your professor may require you to use MLA, APA, or Turabian formatting. See the links below for citation assistance. For further help, contact the Undergraduate Writing Center or the Online Writing Center.
For all formats, check out Liberty University's Writing Aids.
MLA
APA
Turabian
There are two styles of Chicago/Turabian formatting. Liberty prefers the Notes/Bibliography style, which has you place a footnote at the bottom of each page where a resource is quoted or paraphrased, and then have an alphabetically organized bibliography at the end of your paper. The Notes/Bibliography style is found in chapters 16 and 17 of the Turabian Manual, and is also called Chicago/Turabian: Humanities style by some databases (such as Ebsco) that provide suggested citations. Whenever you use suggested citations from a database, be sure to check that they are properly capitalized, etc.
The other Chicago/Turabian Author/Date style is much more like APA formatting. Do not use this style for Liberty University papers. Examples for this style are found in chapters 18 and 19 of the Turabian manual. This style uses "in text" parenthetical citations and has a reference list at the end of the paper.
The Writing Center is available to assist with your writing needs. You may schedule an appointment with a writing coach to assist with questions you may have.
