The format used for citing sources depends on the citation style being used. Some commonly used citation styles include APA (American Psychological Association), MLA (Modern Language Association), Chicago, and Harvard. Each style has its own specific guidelines for how to format citations, including the order and format of the elements (such as author names, publication dates, titles, etc.) and the punctuation used. It is important to follow the specific guidelines of the chosen citation style to ensure accurate and consistent citations.
