JSTOR provides auto-generated pre-formatted citations in MLA, APA, and Chicago styles. Citation style varies by academic discipline and within some disciplines, more than one style is common.

However, make sure you are consistent with a single style through your research project. Check with your instructor to determine what style to use for your specific course.
