Synopsis

This classic introductory text is well known for its solid guidance in the writing, documenting, and formatting of research papers, reports, theses, and dissertations. Form and Style's comprehensive coverage of the research process ranges from choosing a topic and preparing a draft to documenting sources and preparing a bibliography. The text provides models and explanations for four document styles: Chicago Manual of Style (CMS), Modern Language Association (MLA), American Psychological Association (APA), and Columbia Guide to Online Style (CGOS). The Twelfth Edition features the latest information on documentation styles, using computers and the Internet, and online sources and the research process.
