ProCon.org is the institutional or organization author for all ProCon.org pages. Proper citation depends on your preferred or required style manual.
Below are the proper citation formats for ProCon.org pages according to four style manuals (in alphabetical order): the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA), The Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago), the Modern Language Association Style Manual (MLA), and Kate Turabian’s A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (Turabian).
Please note that some citation methods require information like “last updated on [day, month year]” to represent the day that the cited internet source was updated. To accommodate those citation methods, ProCon.org provides, on nearly every page, information about when that page was last updated. Those references look like this: “Last updated on: 1/4/2022”
If you are unsure of which style protocol to follow, please consult your teacher, editor, or appropriate authority.
