Citing Sources

Check out these sites for tips on citing sources:

Citation Management Tools

Citation tools allow you to save and organize your research. They also let you create formatted bibliographies.

Downloadable as a standalone program from OIT, EndNote is a powerful citation tool for organizing your research and creating formatted citations. In addition to the standalone option, you can create an EndNote Web account.

Google Scholar - Citations

Google Scholar is an excellent tool for searching across a set of scholarly journals and books. If you use a citation tool like EndNote or RefWorks, you can also set your Scholar Settings to download and import citations to the tools directly. 

  • Click this link
  • Select a citation style, e.g., EndNote.
  • Then, Save the settings.


You’ll see the EndNote link next to your search results. Click the link to download the citation, then open EndNote to import it. ​
