The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) is one of the most comprehensive writing guides available. It features step-by-step procedures for formatting and citations spanning several writing styles, including MLA, APA and Chicago. OWL also has pages dedicated to subject-specific writing, including literary studies, social sciences, journalism, and creative writing. There are even guides on how to conduct research before writing your paper.

For a quick refresher or to learn how to organize one's thoughts and denote important facts in writing, the Purdue OWL is a great site to check out for students of all disciplines.

The following university-hosted websites are dedicated to guiding students through the steps of planning and producing written assignments.  The tips they outline are often a blend of fresh reminders and wholly new insights into the writing process, and feature varying degrees of detail how best to complete one's work.  For help starting or finishing an essay, research paper, or final presentation, make sure to turn to these sites or others like them.
