Save and Cite your Sources
When working on a research paper it is a good idea to keep track of the articles you are interested in using even if you end up not using them!
Many databases have tools that allow you to save articles or export them to a Citation Manager, and most databases have a citation generator.
Be sure to...
- use the Permalink tool to link to the article (don't use the url because it won't work)
- use the Cite tool to get a citation for any article you use
- email articles to yourself or export articles to a citation manager (if you use one)
- check your citation to make sure it is correct
The tools below are from the database CINAHL Ultimate, but most databases have tools so be sure to look for them!
