Style Manuals

Style manuals guide your research from the formulation of an idea to the proper layout of a paper. They also provide guidelines for compiling lists of references or works cited for a paper or project. To decide which manual is acceptable for your subject area or academic discipline, consult with your professor. The manuals listed below are only a few of the many style manuals available. Others can be found by searching the MERLIN Library Catalog.
