Guides: WILD 421 Wildlife Conservation: Citations

Citation style

A citation style (or format) specifies what information should appear in your citation, how that information is ordered and how it is formatted (punctuation, italics, etc.). APA, MLA, Chicago, Vancouver and CSE are examples of citations styles.

For this class, you will use the Conservation Biology Citation Style. The journal is using APA 7th, so if you are using EndNote or Zotero, select APA 7th and you'll be fine.
