Citing Your Sources

Help

There are many online resources that can help you format your citations.

  • The Purdue OWL, or Online Writing Lab, is a comprehensive guide to formatting citations in APA and MLA styles. It provides detailed information on how to create both in-text citations and reference citations.
  • RefWorks is a citation manager provided by Rush. Our Guide To RefWorks is a helpful resource for using RefWorks. It can provide a reference-style bibliography (for all citations that were entered) with two clicks. It is also very helpful in creating in-text citations.
  • Zotero is similar to RefWorks. Zotero is a free product, available to all researchers at no charge.
  • PubMed provides a citation for each article it contains. Look for the "Cite" button and choose the citation style you need.
  • Google Scholar also provides a citation for each article. You can access those by clicking the double quotation marks " on the bottom line of the Google Scholar entry.
