WHAT IS CITATION STYLE?
A citation style is a set of guidelines on
how to cite sources in your academic
writing. You always need a citation
whenever you quote, paraphrase, or
summarize a source to avoid plagiarism.
How you present these citations depends
on the style you follow.

(2020). Quest for happiness.
Fern Publishing Company
Press.
 SINGLE AUTHOR

One-author in-text citations

should include the surname
without any suffixes (Jr.) and the
date of publication in parenthesis.
