Style Manual ; Chicago – MLA-APA
Praveenkumar H S
A style guide or style manual is a set of standards for the writing and design of documents, either for general use or for a
specific publication, organization or field. The implementation of a style guide provides uniformity in style and formatting
within a document and across multiple documents.
1) The Chicago Manual of Style
The Chicago Manual of Style is a style guide for American English published since 1906 by the University of
Chicago Press. Its sixteen editions have prescribed writing and citation styles widely used in publishing. It is "one
of the most widely used and respected style guides in the United States."The CMOS deals with aspects of
editorial practice, from American English grammar and usage to document preparation.
The Chicago Manual of Style is used in some social science publications and most historical journals. It remains the
basis for theStyle Guide of the American Anthropological Association and the Style Sheet for the Organization of
American Historians. The Chicago Manual of Style includes chapters relevant to publishers of books and journals. It is
used widely by academic and some trade publishers, as well as editors and authors who are required by those
publishers to follow it. A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations is based on the Manual.
 Chicago has two recommended styles or subtypes.
– Notes-Bibliography System
– Author-Date System
 The most common is Notes-Bibliography and this style uses either footnotes or endnotes
– Footnotes, the most common, are printed at the bottom of the page
– Endnotes are a collected list at the end of the paper
– This style also includes a Bibliography page at the end of the paper that lists all references in a format
similar to the footnotes found within the paper .
Style Essentials
• Page numbers for the body of the report, glossary, bibliography, and appendices are written in Arabic numerals
• Page numbers for title page, table of contents, list of figures, and abstract will be written in lower case Roman
numerals
• Use a superscript (a raised numeral in the text) to signal a citation
• Titles of full-length works (books, journals, operas, movies, etc.) are italicized

MLA
What is MLA; MLA stands for Modern Language Association which promulgates guidelines for preparing student research
papers and projects and scholarly manuscripts in the humanities. “MLA style” refers to a system of citing research
sources.
All fields of research agree on the need to document scholarly borrowings, but documentation conventions vary because
of the different needs of scholarly disciplines. MLA style for documentation is widely used in the humanities, especially in
writing on language and literature. Generally simpler and more concise than other styles, MLA style features brief
parenthetical citations in the text keyed to an alphabetical list of works cited that appears at the end of the work.
MLA style has been widely adopted by schools, academic departments, and instructors for over half a century. The
association's guidelines are also used by over 1,100 scholarly and literary journals, newsletters, and magazines and by
many university and commercial presses. The MLA's guidelines are followed throughout North America and in Brazil,
China, India, Japan, Taiwan, and other countries around the world.
General Guidelines
• Your list of references should begin on a separate page, with the title "Works Cited".
• Arrange entries alphabetically, using the last name of the author. If no author is given, alphabetize by the title,
eliminating any initial A, An, or The.
• Begin each entry at the left margin. Indent the following lines one-half inch from the left margin.
• Double-space within each entry, and between each entry.
• Follow carefully the punctuation, underlining, and capitalization in the examples.
• Shorten the name of the publishing company by eliminating articles (A, An, or The), business abbreviations (Co.,
Inc., Ltd.), and descriptive words (Books, House, Press). However, when citing a University Press, add the
abbreviation "UP" (Ohio State UP). If the publisher’s name is the name of one or more persons, cite the first
surname only (Abrams).

"Marriage." Encyclopedia Judaica. CD-ROM. Vers. 1.0. Jerusalem: Judaica Multimedia, 1997.
Citing Materials from Online Sources
Online Sources:
Citations for online sources, like those for print sources, should provide information that both identifies a source and
allows that source to be located and retrieved again. All citations should include the medium of publication (Web) and
the date the content was accessed. If the source is difficult to locate or your instructor requires a URL, list the
complete address within angle brackets after the date. In many cases, it is also necessary to identify the Web site or
database that has made the material available online.
Because there are currently few standards that govern the organization and presentation of online publications, the
information that is available to fulfill these objectives can vary widely from resource to resource. In general,
references to online works require more information than references to print sources.
See sections 5.6.1-4 in the MLA Handbook for more complete information on creating citations for online sources.
Web page:
This example includes the optional URL. All other examples below use the shorter citation format.
Cornell University Library. "Introduction to Research." Cornell University Library. Cornell University, 2009. Web. 19

APA
American Psychological Association (APA) style is an academic format specified in The Publication Manual of
the American Psychological Association, a style guide that offers academic authors guidance on various
subjects for the submission of papers to the publications of APA. The APA states that the guidelines were
developed to assist reading comprehension in the social and behavioral sciences, for clarity of communication,
and for "word choice that best reduces bias in language".The Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association contains guidelines on many aspects of academic writing as it is regarded as appropriate by the APA.
Among the topics covered are information on the structure of research papers of various kinds, spelling rules, an
author-date reference style, construction of tables and graphs, plagiarism, formatting of papers, and much
more.
APA style is widely used, not only by APA publications but by various other scientific journals (including medical
and public health journals), textbooks, and academia (for papers written in classes). Along
with CMOS, Turabian, AMA, and CSE, it is one of the major style regimes for such work.

Style manual assingment (1)

  • 1. Style Manual ; Chicago – MLA-APA Praveenkumar H S A style guide or style manual is a set of standards for the writing and design of documents, either for general use or for a specific publication, organization or field. The implementation of a style guide provides uniformity in style and formatting within a document and across multiple documents. 1) The Chicago Manual of Style The Chicago Manual of Style is a style guide for American English published since 1906 by the University of Chicago Press. Its sixteen editions have prescribed writing and citation styles widely used in publishing. It is "one of the most widely used and respected style guides in the United States."The CMOS deals with aspects of editorial practice, from American English grammar and usage to document preparation. The Chicago Manual of Style is used in some social science publications and most historical journals. It remains the basis for theStyle Guide of the American Anthropological Association and the Style Sheet for the Organization of American Historians. The Chicago Manual of Style includes chapters relevant to publishers of books and journals. It is used widely by academic and some trade publishers, as well as editors and authors who are required by those publishers to follow it. A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations is based on the Manual.  Chicago has two recommended styles or subtypes. – Notes-Bibliography System – Author-Date System  The most common is Notes-Bibliography and this style uses either footnotes or endnotes – Footnotes, the most common, are printed at the bottom of the page – Endnotes are a collected list at the end of the paper – This style also includes a Bibliography page at the end of the paper that lists all references in a format similar to the footnotes found within the paper . Style Essentials • Page numbers for the body of the report, glossary, bibliography, and appendices are written in Arabic numerals • Page numbers for title page, table of contents, list of figures, and abstract will be written in lower case Roman numerals • Use a superscript (a raised numeral in the text) to signal a citation • Titles of full-length works (books, journals, operas, movies, etc.) are italicized Book – 1 author • Endnote • 1.

  • 3. MLA What is MLA; MLA stands for Modern Language Association which promulgates guidelines for preparing student research papers and projects and scholarly manuscripts in the humanities. “MLA style” refers to a system of citing research sources. All fields of research agree on the need to document scholarly borrowings, but documentation conventions vary because of the different needs of scholarly disciplines. MLA style for documentation is widely used in the humanities, especially in writing on language and literature. Generally simpler and more concise than other styles, MLA style features brief parenthetical citations in the text keyed to an alphabetical list of works cited that appears at the end of the work. MLA style has been widely adopted by schools, academic departments, and instructors for over half a century. The association's guidelines are also used by over 1,100 scholarly and literary journals, newsletters, and magazines and by many university and commercial presses. The MLA's guidelines are followed throughout North America and in Brazil, China, India, Japan, Taiwan, and other countries around the world. General Guidelines • Your list of references should begin on a separate page, with the title "Works Cited". • Arrange entries alphabetically, using the last name of the author. If no author is given, alphabetize by the title, eliminating any initial A, An, or The. • Begin each entry at the left margin. Indent the following lines one-half inch from the left margin. • Double-space within each entry, and between each entry. • Follow carefully the punctuation, underlining, and capitalization in the examples. • Shorten the name of the publishing company by eliminating articles (A, An, or The), business abbreviations (Co., Inc., Ltd.), and descriptive words (Books, House, Press). However, when citing a University Press, add the abbreviation "UP" (Ohio State UP). If the publisher’s name is the name of one or more persons, cite the first surname only (Abrams). Books: References to an entire book should include the following elements:  author(s) or editor(s)  the complete title  edition, if indicated  place of publication  the shortened name of the publisher  date of publication  medium of publication Basic Format Lastname, Firstname. Title of Book. Place of Publication: Publisher, Year of Publication. Medium of Publication.

  • 7. Citing Materials from Online Sources Online Sources: Citations for online sources, like those for print sources, should provide information that both identifies a source and allows that source to be located and retrieved again. All citations should include the medium of publication (Web) and the date the content was accessed. If the source is difficult to locate or your instructor requires a URL, list the complete address within angle brackets after the date. In many cases, it is also necessary to identify the Web site or database that has made the material available online. Because there are currently few standards that govern the organization and presentation of online publications, the information that is available to fulfill these objectives can vary widely from resource to resource. In general, references to online works require more information than references to print sources. See sections 5.6.1-4 in the MLA Handbook for more complete information on creating citations for online sources. Web page: This example includes the optional URL.

APA American Psychological Association (APA) style is an academic format specified in The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, a style guide that offers academic authors guidance on various subjects for the submission of papers to the publications of APA. The APA states that the guidelines were developed to assist reading comprehension in the social and behavioral sciences, for clarity of communication, and for "word choice that best reduces bias in language".The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association contains guidelines on many aspects of academic writing as it is regarded as appropriate by the APA.
