Reference Management
Having trouble keeping track of all your references for that research paper you're writing? Need help formatting your paper and bibliography? Try using a citation builder:
**RefWorks
**Zotero
**CAUTION: Professors have reported that NoodleBib's APA style citations are not always accurate. When using any citation builder (including RefWorks or NoodleBib), you should double-check the results against the appropriate style guide or manual. No automated system is perfect, so always carefully examine the citations that are produced before inserting them into a "Works Cited" or "References" page.
How To Cite Your Sources
APA (American Psychological Association) style is most commonly used to write papers and cite sources within education and the social sciences.
Duke University's Citing Sources page offers helpful guides:
One guide explains how to assemble a list of Works Cited in your paper, showing examples of a wide variety of document types in APA, MLA, Chicago, and Turabian formats.
Another guide shows how to cite sources within your paper.
Online Writing Lab (OWL) at Purdue This site from the Purdue Online Writing Lab offers examples for the general format of APA research papers, in-text citations, endnotes/footnotes, and the Works Cited page. It also provides information about the writing process, internet literacy, literary analysis and criticism, English as a Second Language, and other citation styles.
