Style guides

The MHRA Style Guide: A Handbook for Authors, Editors, and Writers of Theses—formerly the MHRA Style Book—is an academic style guide published by the Modern Humanities Research Association. It is most widely used in the arts and humanities in the United Kingdom, where the MHRA is based.

Initially, the Book and Guide were only available for sale in the UK and in the United States. As of 2015, 50,000 copies of all editions, published between 1971 and 2013, have been sold worldwide.[1]

The 4th edition of the Style Guide (published in February 2024) can be downloaded free of charge,[2] as a PDF formatted document, from the MHRA's official website.[3] Since 2017, an online version is available, in full[4] and in a condensed Quick Guide format. Both online versions are also free of charge.[5]
