Several of our databases come with citation tools that format article citations in several different styles. Look for the CITE or EXPORT function next to the article record to create a citation for your reference list. Use these shortcuts with caution as they rarely give perfect citations. It is up to YOU to review your results for accuracy. Refer to our Citation Style Guides or to the appropriate style manual to determine if your citations are correct.

It is up to YOU to review the citation for accuracy. Refer to our Citation Style Subject Guides or to the appropriate style manual to determine if your citations are correct.

Citation generators can be helpful to create entries for your reference list (also called works cited list or bibliography).
However, no matter which citation generator you use, none of them is perfect, and it is up to YOU to review your results for accuracy. Refer to our handouts, our Citation Style Subject Guides, or to the appropriate style manual to determine if your citations are correct.
