Research and Citation Guides

Citing your sources during your project -- not just at the end -- is an essential habit. Fortunately, citation management tools like NoodleTools make it so easy!

NoodleTools
Citation and bibliography manager. On the right side of the login screen use your full CFS email address and click "Sign in with Google".

Referring your reader to the specific source you used in each sentence is vital to your work as a scholar. These are called parenthetical or in-text references

NoodleTools will generate a reference for entries your create or import (but not those you copy and paste in).
The Guide to Writing Parenthetical References can help (see below for download).
Also, check Purdue OWL for MLA.
