Style Guides
Style guides show you how to write your papers clearly and concisely to effectively communicate your research. You will find instructions on paper formatting, citations, reference lists, figures, tables, and more.
These style guides are used in many courses. Print copies of these guides are available in UF Libraries. You might consider purchasing your own copy of the guide you use in most of your classes.
