Watch this short video from the University of Arkansas Libraries to learn what a citation is and how to read one
Political Science researchers typically use one of three styles: APA, Chicago, or APSA (American Political Science Association). This guide will just focus on APA and Chicago since APSA is not prioritized at W&J. With all of that said, it's always best to ask your professor if they have a particular citation style that they would like you to use for your assignments. Below is a link to the library's larger citation guide along with some quick tips for APA and Chicago styles to get you started.
