Are There Tools To Help Me With Citations?

Tip
Remember, nothing replaces logical thinking.
Always consult the format handbook for the rules.

There are lots of online citation making tools available. The library name for them is “bibliographic management software”. Some have to be downloaded to your computer or mobile device, while others have a web interface.

Bibliographic management software makes formatting citations easier, but you still have to use your brain and check to see that all of necessary information has been imported and formatted correctly.

Some examples include:
Citation Machine | Noodle Tools | Zotero | Turn it in
