Citation & formatting Resources
Most Kendall professors request research papers to be formatted in the Modern Language Association Style (MLA). However, from time to time, you may be asked to format your paper in the American Psychological Association Style (APA). In addition to using Refbase, the resources listed below may be helpful to you in citation and research paper formatting.
