Automatically-generated citations can be found for articles and other materials in library databases. The citation tool is always available on a page about only one article. If you are in the search results, click on the article's title to view the item.
The citation tool will usually be found with a menu of other tools along the side or bottom of a webpage about an item. It may use a quotation mark icon or a document icon. Choose the citation style you need, then copy and paste it somewhere to keep. Always double check that the citation is completely correct.
You may also choose to take advantage of citation management tools (i.e Mendely, Zotero, EndNote) to help you track and organize the material you find. Learn more at the link below.
If you want to easily return to the full text of a library article again, you should also save the permalink, which can be found near the citation tool in most databases.
