Available in all of our databases (and Google Scholar if you set up preferences) is the built-in citation tool for UC-eLinks. Choose from one of 5 bibliographic styles then copy & paste the text into a document.
Many databases and Google Scholar have a Cite link that will display an article's citation in one of many citation styles. Look for it when viewing the details about an article.
As with any tool like these, is it not guaranteed to be accurate all of the time. To be certain everything is perfect, consult the offical style manuals.
Citation generators are tools in which you type the information regarding the citation (instead of pulling directly from a database or catalog) - they usually have a form to help guide you in what information is needed - and then they format it into the style you need.
If you have the information about an article or book, you can use one of the tools below to put it in the right format.
