List of Style Manuals

red bar

Different disciplines use different paper formats and styles of documentation for publication submissions.  These are the reference books that explain the style and format requirements for each field.  Most people do not use these specific formats unless they plan to publish their work, or their professor or employer specifically requests that they follow one of these formats.
