Synopsis
By simplifying the complex citation process, this detailed guide enables writers to confidently investigate a topic and accurately quote the resulting research in a variety of documents without having to consult four separate style tomes. From gathering credible sources and developing strong topics to writing thesis statements and ensuing revisions, each step of the research paper writing process is discussed, with particular emphasis placed on supporting academic integrity and eliminating plagiarism. A straightforward compilation of the four major writing-style manuals—American Psychological Association (APA), Chicago Manual of Style (CMS), Council of Science Editors (CSE), and the Modern Language Association (MLA)—this fully revised handbook distills the major concepts into easily understandable terms and provides complete citation examples for each source type.

Reviews
Grade 9 Up—An outstanding tool. Chapter one, "Writing Ethics," discusses the reason for citing information and gives students examples of lessons from "real life." The second chapter, "Research," provides advice on choosing a topic, formulating a thesis, using the library, and evaluating sources. "Writing" teaches students how to compose introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions, and provides advice on making revisions. These initial instructions are followed by individual chapters on citing information according to the Modern Language Association (MLA), the American Psychological Association (APA), the Chicago Manual of Style, and The Council of Science Editors. Each chapter explains why one would choose that particular style and has its own index. Because of its abbreviated format, the book is a welcome alternative to the style handbooks produced by MLA and APA. While both of these publications provide excellent, detailed information for scholarly writers, much of it is not necessary for high school term papers. The information in this volume truly addresses creating citations in an accessible way.—Joanne K. Cecere, Monroe-Woodbury High School, Central Valley, NY
