In-text citations are the condensed forms of full citations, and they are used within the body of your written work. The formatting of what informational elements are listed when is based on what citation style you’re using, and the conventions are different not only between citation styles but also between different types of sources. Names of authors, titles, publishers, and more are included to make it easy for your reader to follow up an idea or point that you showed them when you cited another author’s work within your own. These pages contain all of the important information necessary for someone else to find the material you referenced to create your argument or express your unique ideas.

Bibliography page (Notes and Bibliography Chicago style).

Works Cited page (MLA format, Author-Date Chicago style).

References page (APA format, Author-Date Chicago style).

There are two types of citations: full and in-text citations. A citation is a formal way to acknowledge a source that you used or learned from in some way that helped you create a piece of content.
