Description 341-348
This paper compares the fundamental characteristics, in-text referencing format, and reference formatting of three
commonly utilized citation styles in scholarly discourse: MLA, APA, and IS:IDBR. The review encompasses literature on
citation styles, bibliographic references, citation generation platforms, scholarly articles, and manuals of MLA, APA, and
IS:IDBR. These sources serve as the theoretical foundation aligned with the research objectives. The study confines its
scope to the comparative analysis of three citation styles, focusing solely on their features, in-text formats, and reference
formats, excluding other aspects. Nonetheless, the findings are poised to assist researchers and academics in selecting the
most suitable citation style for their research endeavours. Upon examination, the study reveals that MLA is perceived as
more user-friendly for students than APA, while IS:IDBR emerges as a comprehensive citation style offering a versatile
approach. This study derives insights from original research data extracted and synthesized from a comprehensive literature
review.
