The book discusses the different writing styles one can use when writing citations (in a work) or references (at the back of a work), depending on one's area of specialisation or discipline. They are also treated in their current editions.
Hence, the writing styles are APA (American Psychological Association) which is used majorly in the fields of Education and Social Sciences among others, MLA which is used majorly in the Sciences and the Turabian that is used mainly in Humanities. Ultimately, various institutions of learning ascertain which writing style to adopt.
Students are encouraged to learn and master these different writing styles to help prepare them for the raining day (now and the near future).
