Use Database Citation Tools
Another way to prepare citations is to use the citation tools available in many databases. Databases will create the citation for an article in the style you want. However, formatting does not always copy correctly and you may need to adjust indentations and confirm that the information requested by your instructor is included in the citation generated. It can be real time saver and is worth considering. See tutorials below:
