This handbook offers you advice on how to approach your academic writing, especially in your transition from second to third level. We hope it will provide you with an overview of the knowledge, skills and good working practices needed to craft your academic writing. It will teach you how to apply the conventions of writing at university level; however, equally important is that you will gain the confidence to develop your own voice as an academic writer, a focus that underpins this handbook.

Section 4.3.3 of the American Chemical Society Guide to Scholarly Communication, which provides examples of citations for various material types. This chapter of the guide is open access.
The online writing lab offers global support through online reference materials and services for creating citations, cover letters, major-specific writing help, and general writing advice. Provides guides for MLA, APA, and Chicago styles.
APA Style provides a foundation for effective scholarly communication because it helps writers present their ideas in a clear, precise, and inclusive manner.
This guide will show you how to structure APA citations according to the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association (7th edition) and will show you example citations for different source types. For information on other APA topics—such as formatting your paper, creating a title page, etc.—check out the EasyBib APA format guide. It even has an example paper.
