The document that I found was very helpful in bringing down what formatting would be helpful throughout my research. It pretty much went into depth about what MLA,CMS, and APA was and how important it is to us it.APA is the newer version than MLA APA is used for searching resources written from journals, articles and published work. MLA is focused on researching the author of your source. CMS is more typically used on humanities community like art and literature. I think everything on this document is important put for me I think MLA and CMS is most important to me because I see myself using these more because of my topic with Dreams and Interior Design. I went back to a few of my journals and only found a few that I thought needed to be changed and formatted other those I thought they were good. I changed my citations and reread everything that needed to be cited correctly.
