Compact and convenient, The Broadview Pocket Guide to Citation and Documentation includes information on MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE styles of citation and documentation. The second edition has been fully updated to reflect the 2016 revisions to the MLA style of documentation. A wide range of examples are provided throughout the book, and full sample essays in both MLA and APA styles are also included.

The book discusses summary and paraphrase as well as direct quotation, and includes an extensive treatment of how to integrate quoted material into the text of an academic paper. There is coverage too of what constitutes plagiarism--and how to avoid it.
