Linguistics

In many disciplines, APA Style is often the preferred citation style for bibliographies and in-text citations.  However, check with your professor to be sure this is the style they recommend for your work. Here are some tools for learning about APA Style:

Visit the UNM CAPS Writing Center for additional help with citations. 

Citation manager software can help you manage the articles/citations/PDFs you gather as you research and can help you easily create properly formatted papers and bibliographies. The most popular citation manager software supported at UNM is:

• 
  •  Free and cloud-based (but you can sync with your desktop).  Visit the Zotero website to learn more. 
  • Visit the UNM Library's Zotero help pages for information on how to get started and tips on how to set it up to work in the UNM Libraries environment.

Other similar tools are available, to learn more visit this University of Washington Libraries webpage. 

Please contact me, Liz Cooper (cooperliz@unm.edu), for questions or assistance.  I am glad to meet with you one-on-one to learn how to use these tools.  

Chicago Style is another citation style that is sometimes used in Linguistics. Ask your professor which style they prefer you use.
