Managing Citations and Styles: Home

The university uses several writing styles for research papers and this can understandably confusing. Here are the resources we have to help.

MLA

APA

• APA Style Writer is an online assistant that helps you write full length papers in preformatted APA style. You can actually type your paper in APA style on this cite. You will need to create a secondary login of your choice. This has guides, tutorials and all that you need -- all from the APA!
