How to Cite a Lab Manual (Quick Guide)

Packaging teams often reference lab manuals and test guides. Here’s how to cite a lab manual clearly in common styles:

• APA: Author/Institution. (Year). Title of lab manual (Version). Department/Institution. URL (if available).
• MLA: Author/Institution. Title of Lab Manual. Version, Department/Institution, Year. URL.
• Chicago: Author/Institution. Title of Lab Manual. Version. Department/Institution, Year. URL.
• Tip: Include test standards (e.g., ASTM D642) in the methodology section rather than the citation title.
