TRU Open Learning Style

TRU Open Learning (formerly BCOU) has designed a set of three academic style guides which rely heavily on and extend or modify some version of MLA or APA style:

Writer's Style Guide
Draws on current Modern Language Association style (MLA Style), which uses in-text citations instead of endnotes or footnotes; it also uses a list of works cited or a list of works consulted instead of a bibliography.

Essay Writing for University Courses
Draws on an older version of MLA Style that the Modern Language Association published in 1977. It uses footnotes and endnotes to cite sources; it also calls the list of works consulted a bibliography.

Social Science Style Guide
Draws on American Psychological Association style (APA style), which uses in-text citations (like MLA citations but not quite the same), as well as a list of cited works that it calls References.

CSE Style (Council of Science Editors)

Note: The CBE (Council of Biology Editors) has changed its name to the CSE (Council of Science Editors).
