1. Academic style guide examples
Purdue Online Writing Lab claims that “Academic styles include a wide range of rules and guidelines for works in their respective fields, from grammar and language use to the font and size of headings in a work. Generally style manuals include everything a writer needs to know in order to make their work look and read just like every other work written in that style — the look of the page, the way other authors are referenced in the body of the work, and even the tone of the writing. In the corporate sphere, "style guide" is often synonymous with "branding guide," and in a way academic style guides can be thought of similarly. APA style brands papers with specific guidelines in the same way Apple's style guide brands their websites, advertisements, products, documentation, and even stores: you know an APA paper when you see one, just like you know an Apple device when you see one. […] Style guides are used as a way of making common elements consistent across documents written by many writers, in many places, and in many circumstances; as a result, readers from any university (or other audience groups) can read a paper written in APA style and know immediately how to navigate the headings of the paper, which details will be listed in the abstract, how quotes will be introduced and marked, where to look for important citation information, and what each citation element represents”.
These are a few academic style guide examples:

2. APA and IEEE
Below is the APA citation format you have been using in
EAP5 course. We will now compare it to IEEE in terms of how to reference material in the text body and in the literature sources.
1. In-text references:
According to the National Climate Assessment, human
influences are the number one cause of global warming, especially the carbon
pollution we cause by burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests (Littlewood, 2016). The carbon dioxide, methane, soot, and other pollutants
we release into the atmosphere act like a blanket, trapping the sun's heat and
causing the planet to warm. Evidence shows that 2000 to 2009 was hotter than
any other decade in at least the past 1,300 years (Ester,
2012). According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
in 2015 there were 10 weather and climate disaster events in the United States
that caused at least $1 billion in losses (Smith,
2018). For context, each year from 1980 to 2015 averaged $5.2 billion in
disasters (Littlewood, 2016). If you zero in on
the years between 2011 and 2015, you see an annual average cost of $10.8
billion (Smith, 2018).
Now we will use IEEE citations for the same text:
