An important part of college, and any content creation, is organizing and storing your information. When you write an academic paper, part of what you will do is use other people’s research to support your assertions. When you do this, you have to properly quote and cite this information (or paraphrase with citation), and then reference this information. When in college, the typical citation methods include APA, MLA, and Chicago. In addition, there are others such as AP, AMA, Bluebook, and IEEE.
