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 reference management tool like the ones below.

**RefWorks

**NoodleBib **

**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.

The 7th edition is the most recent version of the Turabian style of writing.  It is based on the Chicago Manual style of writing and offers two styles of writing:

1. Notes-Bibligraphy system (bibliography style) - commonly used in literature, history, and the arts, and presents bibliographic information in footnotes or endnotes, and usually a bibliography.
   
2. Parenthetical citations-Reference list system (reference list style) - more concise, commonly used in the physical, natural, and social sciences, and presents sources briefly cited in parenthesis in the text by the author's last name and date of publication. Full bibliography information is also provided in a reference list.
