APA Style and Chicago Style Manual Guide: Links and Introduction
The American Psychological Association initiated the APA style to establish a set of norms for publications. It includes a series of standards to assist researchers or authors in achieving precise, exact, and remarkable writings. Individuals from psychology, nursing, education, business, engineering, and other disciplines utilize it to prepare scholarly papers, dissertations, and thesis manuscripts.
HCU Moody Library offers links, tips and video resources on how to write academic and professional papers. Click here to access the webpage.
