Most library databases contain a link for each article labeled "cite" or "cite this." These links generate a citation for the article from the database.
In EBSCO databases, look for the "cite" icon. This can be found under "tools" to the right of each article record:
Several citations will appear in various styles. Identify which style you need to use. Then, copy and paste the correct citation into your reference list.
These tools build citations from information that you enter about the resource. Beware that sometimes the citations need fixing, so always double check their accuracy in one of the manuals.
