Managing Citations
Academic writing requires you to properly cite all sources. In-text citations and bibliographies can be complicated, but the Library can help.
What is citation management software?
Citation management software helps you collect, organize, and retrieve citations while you research. They store all the information needed to cite your research according to your manual of style. Citation management software can also work with programs like Microsoft Word and Open Office to insert properly formatted citations, citations, and bibliographies into your work.
Citation software can help you keep track of all of your sources, and can also make it much easier to create bibliographies and integrate citations. For more help with citation management software, e-mail us at libcitations@wlu.ca.
*Be sure to check your generated citations for accuracy. See the appropriate style guides below for help.
