*NOTE TO STUDENTS USING A JOURNAL AS A STYLE GUIDE: You will need to refer to a specific article that contains the same elements as your thesis/dissertation when formatting your thesis/dissertation. This journal article should be included when you submit your thesis/dissertation for review. In addition, if you are following a journal's author guidelines, keep in mind that some requirements, especially those related to manuscript preparation and typesetting, will not apply; therefore, you will need to synthesize the Format Manual guidelines (which take precedence) and those of your journal. For more information, see Using Style Guides.

For bibliographic information and links to traditional style guides/manuals, refer to the "Style" section in the Format Manual.
