General resources

Writing-related

A 5-page guide on writing literature reviews, targeted at UG4/MSc students. This is mainly intended for those writing a literature review that prefaces original research, but most of the advice is still equally applicable to writing a stand-alone review, such as how to make the most of your reading (for answering a review question).

The Online Writing Lab (OWL) at Purdue University is a veritable mine of information on citation styles and reference lists. I consult this site frequently and think it is one of the best ones out there.

More to come, and please feel free to suggest a resource if you know a good one!
