An important aspect of using the sources you find is properly citing them. You will want to include complete and full references for each assignment. The good news is that creating and providing citations is not difficult!
You can use a citation generator to create your citations or build them yourselves. More information on doing so is available below.
Always consider the citations you pull from any citation generator to be drafts. You should review the citation for accuracy. You may need to fix spacing, indentation, capitalization, the number of authors listed in the citation, and URLs or DOIs. If you are using APA, for example, a common error is that the citation generator will capitalize every word in the article's title. APA citations use sentence case, where you capitalize only the first words of titles and subtitles and proper nouns.
The majority of the Library's databases, including OneSearch and ProQuest Central, have built-in citation generators. These help you to easily retrieve citations for your sources. Both Google Scholar and PubMed Central also have citation generators.

Once you've selected an article, look for the "Cite" tool. In some databases, including Google Scholar and ProQuest Central, this looks like a quotation marks (" ") icon. Below is a comparison of the "Cite" icons in OneSearch and ProQuest Central.
