Writing Resources is here to help you
with information, software recommendations and discounts, and editing
services for academic documents. We specialize in APA, MLA, and
Chicago/Turabian writing styles.
Writing papers for a class or for submission to a journal can mean putting in
a lot of research and sweating out the content. But you've also go to worry
about the formatting of your paper (or thesis or dissertation), and especially
the formatting of your bibliography.

more about our editing and formatting services.
These days, almost all student writers
are required to produce their papers (including theses and
dissertations) in one of the three major styles: APA, MLA, or
Chicago/Turabian, or a variation thereof, such as ASA. Learn
about different writing styles.
Each writing
style specifies "how-to" information in several major categories:
| • |
Language usage |
| • |
Bibliography entry formatting |
| • |
Citation of sources |
| • |
Appearance of text, headings, and title pages |
| • |
Page layout: margins, numbering, and running heads |
Most students are competent enough with
their word processing software to handle page layout for term papers,
but when it comes to multi-chapter documents like theses and
dissertations, and their complex page numbering and section ordering
requirements, most are overwhelmed. And when it comes to formatting
bibliographies and citing sources, almost all students decide that
buying software is a lot easier than wading through dozens (or hundreds)
of pages of a style guide to determine exactly how to cite a certain
source.
We at Writing Resources have
investigated software products that are marketed to students and have
employed student testers to evaluate these products. We invite you to
read our findings. Find out about software you can buy to help you with
writing term papers, theses, and dissertations.
