As you can tell from the definition of the word "format," the primary (first) meaning is in the general organization pattern of the pieces of writing.

In this website, click on the menu for Essay & Research Paper Level and scroll down until you see the section called PATTERNS OF ORGANIZATION. Read about different patterns, and decide which one of these is the closest to those you've read in the Opposing Viewpoints series. If you haven't read any of them, then you need to. (You cannot determine the pattern of organization of information without having read several of them.)
A.P.A.
To determine how articles from the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center of the University Library are formatted, you can follow these steps:
1. Visit the University Library's website and access the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center (OVRC).
2. Once you are on the OVRC platform, navigate to the search bar, typically located at the top of the page.
3. Type in the keywords or topic you are researching in the search bar and hit "Enter" or click the search button.
4. Review the search results that appear on the next page. These will be articles related to your topic.
5. Click on a specific article title to access the full article.
6. In most cases, the OVRC articles are formatted as HTML web pages. They might contain a brief summary or abstract at the beginning, followed by the main body of the article. The main body is usually divided into sections or subsections, with headings to help you navigate through the content.
7. Within the article, you may find in-text citations, quotes, or references to support the author's arguments and provide credibility.
8. OVRC articles often include features such as hyperlinks, embedded multimedia content (such as videos or images), and a list of related articles or resources for further exploration.
If you have followed these steps and still have trouble finding or formatting the articles correctly, I recommend reaching out to a librarian at your university. They are usually very knowledgeable about the resources available and can provide guidance specific to your university's library system.
