When a source is cited within the text, tables, or figures of a paper, it needs to be referenced. The three styles that are approved by Western University of Health Sciences are from the American Medical Association (AMA), American Psychological Association (APA), and Vancouver.

This guide is intended to help you with citing references in your papers.  If you have questions that this guide does not cover, or want some individual help, please contact the Reference Office.  We can set up in-person, over-the-phone, or web conferencing.
