• APA is an author/date based style. This means
emphasis is placed on the author and the date of a
piece of work to uniquely identify it.
• MLA is most often applied in the arts and humanities,
particularly in the USA
• HARVARD is very similar to APA. It is the most well used
referencing style in the UK and Australia, and it is
encouraged for use with the humanities.
REFERENCING STYLES
• CHICAGO AND TURABIAN are two separate styles but
very similar. They are widely used for history and
economics.
• Though there are choices from different referencing
styles, your should use the particular style your
school recommends.

WAYS OF CITING RELATED LITERATURE

literature were written, usually from earliest to the
latest.
WAYS OF CITING RELATED LITERATURE
• Only the major findings, ideas, generalizations,
principles or conclusions in related materials relevant
to the problem should be cited.
• A material may be quoted if the idea conveyed is so
perfectly stated and is not too long.
Example: According to Felipe, “pregnancy is a condition
where women should take extra care of themselves,
there is also a need to consult with a doctor to check if
everything, if both the mother and the baby are dong
fine” (Felipe, 2015).
