Style examples

If you are not sure which style to use, see your Unit Coordinator or supervisor, or copy the style used in your handouts. If you cannot get instruction on which style to use, as a last resort, choose any style relevant to your faculty or discipline and make sure that you use it consistently within each assignment.

Commonly used styles include:

• AIP American Institute of Physics
• APA American Psychological Association
• Chicago or notes-bibliography
• Harvard or author-date
• IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
• Turabian based on Chicago style
• Vancouver or numeric or footnote-endnote, for Biomedical publications
