You must cite your source each time you use words, data, and/or ideas that are not your own. Every quote, summary, and paraphrase requires a citation.

Kent School uses three styles of citation:

• American Psychological Association Style (APA) is used by the Science Department.
• Modern Language Association Style (MLA) is used by the English Department.
• The Chicago Manual of Style (CMS or Chicago) is used by the History Department. 

Learn more about each style by exploring the pages on the left.

NoodleTools assists with source citation and research organization, and is available to all Kent students, faculty, and staff.
