Why Style Guides?
According to Wikipedia, a Style guide "is a set of standards for design and writing of documents, either for general use or for a specific publication or organization." Style Guides or Manuals can be very specific to the discipline you are writing in or some are used across disciplines. A style guide generally covers everything about writing a document for publication from how to format the title page, to setting margins, to use of tables or figures, to how to cite your references. The American Psychological Association has developed such a guide which is the standard for the field of psychology and is used for nursing and many other disciplines.
