BibMe – Citation Guides
- powered by Chegg
Even though BibMe may be very helpful in automating the process of creating and formatting citations, it’s still important that students understand how to cite sources “the old-fashioned way.” Knowing the rules and guidelines that each style guide outlines is an important part of writing a paper and compiling a bibliography. Using our citation guides, you can look up the formatting guidelines and rules for all the source types we support for the MLA, APA and Chicago/Turabian style guides.
