Citing Your Research
You have several options to help you format your research using proper citation styles.
Many of our databases have citation formatting options:
1). When you get some results from a research database, look for a CITE link. It might show your article in one of several bibliographic formats.
2.) If you decide to e-mail the article, look for a CITATION FORMAT option. You may be able to e-mail all your results in a particular style.
