Solution

Sure, here are the steps to cite a source using MLA and APA styles:

  1. MLA (Modern Language Association) Style:

    • Book: Last Name, First Name. Title of Book. Publisher, Publication Date.
    • Journal Article: Last Name, First Name. "Title of Article." Title of Journal, Volume, Issue, Year, pages.
    • Website: Last Name, First Name. "Title of Web Page." Title of Website, Publisher, Date published, URL.
  2. APA (American Psychological Association) Style:

    • Book: Last Name, First Initial. (Year). Title of book. Publisher.
    • Journal Article: Last Name, First Initial. (Year). Title of article. Title of Journal, Volume(Issue), pages.
    • Website: Last Name, First Initial. (Year, Month Day). Title of web page. Site Name. URL.

Remember, for both styles, if the source has more than one author, list their names as they appear on the source, separated by commas, and use "and" before the last author's name.

Also, note that the titles of books and articles are capitalized in the bibliography, except for certain small words, such as articles and short prepositions. In APA style, only the first word of the title and any subtitles, as well as any proper names, would be capitalized in the bibliography.

Lastly, remember to indent the second and subsequent lines of each citation for a cleaner look.
