Library Database Citation Tools

The majority of the Library's databases, including OneSearch, ProQuest News, etc. 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.

Note: 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, instead of using sentence case.

Once you've selected an article, look for the "Cite" tool. Below is an example of the "Cite" tool icon for OneSearch and any EBSCO databases.
