Examples of Citations

For starters, all of these papers are properly cited using the correct process to cite the sources used whether it be: scholarly, newspapers, websites, or unpublished works. All papers give clear examples on how to properly cite sources in writing, both with in-text-citations as well as a work cited page. Commonly, all of these papers appear to be intended to be helpful in teaching the proper way to cite, and can be used and references for more tricky citing. All papers listed helpful tips regarding the citations that were used, and the tips were placed in a way that made it easy to follow along with what was being cited.
As with the first example of their similarities, a major difference in these papers is the style of citation each uses. There are also different requirements for the different styles of citations. Some information that is required to properly cite a source using MLA style, for example, may not be needed for correct citation using APA style. Also, the layout of the works cited page between these two styles is different, I mean the order that the information regarding the sources is listed is different. In-text layout is also different for the styles, and since the papers don't use the same style these differences apply to their respective citations. Lastly, the way the information on correct citing varied with the different papers and the video was completely different since it was a video.
