In our humanities grad program we were told to pick either MLA or APA and stick with it. It doesn't matter which, consistency is what matters. Enforcing a particular style across all colleges and departments seems silly. These were the resources we were told to consult:
MLA - http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/
APA - http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
Anyway, you should have a citations database and whatever citation tool you are using (BibTeX for instance) should be able to pull the citation from the database and format it in one of any number of styles.
- obstacle1 13y agoIt's incredibly rare to find advocates for APA in most humanities fields. I've only come across MLA and Chicago. Was yours a terminal program? Mind sharing the discipline? The issue isn't so much enforcing a style across colleges/departments as academic journals.
