I always knew that there was APA, MLA, and AMA formatting,  but I never hear of Chicago and Turabian formatting. I learned that Chicago style citation is used for “books, magazines, newspapers, etc. in the corporate world.” In addition, Turabian style citation is used for “general-subject citations.”

The second thing I learned about academic citation is that there is a software besides EndNote and Microsoft Word to help with creating a bibliography. Zotero just like EndNote can “collect, manage, and cite” sources that you find online. It automatically updates itself so keep track of your sources.

Most of my teachers taught me that if you aren’t sure if you’re plagiarizing or not, just cite it anyways to be safe. With the GSU tutorials, i’ve learned that if it is common knowledge, that not only you would know but other would too, such as Obama is the current president, you don’t have to cite it.
