UC Berkeley Resources for Writers of Research Papers

This UC Berkeley site explains how plagiarism and other forms of academic misconduct are defined at Berkeley. If you have questions about the University's expectations in regard to documentation, collaboration, and the research process, this site can provide some answers.

This page provides guides to finding, evaluating, and citing material during your research. Style guides are provided for APA Style, MLA Style, and Chicago-Turabian Style.

The Research Advisory Service provides support to Berkeley students writing research papers in the Humanities and Social Sciences.

In addition to a link to make appointments with a Research Librarian and a link to contact information for the Library liaisons in different disciplines, this site includes "Ask a Librarian," a real-time chat service that allows you to ask questions of a librarian 24 hours a day.
