This guide will help you find the best tools and resources on citation and style.

A style guide or style manual is a set of standards for the writing and design of documents, either for general use or for a specific publication, organization or field.
A style guide provides uniformity in style and formatting within a document and across multiple documents.
Your professor will tell you which citation style to use for your paper or thesis. If not, the following list provides a general guide:
- APA: Psychology, Education
- ASA: Sociology
- CBE/CSE: Biology, Natural Sciences, Neuroscience
- Chicago/Turabian: History, Art History, Political Science
- MLA (8th edition or 9th edition): English, Humanities
