Citing Sources & Avoiding Plagiarism

How to avoid plagiarism and cite sources correctly.

Citation Managers

A citation manager is a tool that scholars and researchers can use to record, organize, and export bibliographic citations (references). Examples of citation managers include RefWorks, Zotero, and Mendeley. The library offered RefWorks, but as of June 30th, 2017 our access to RefWorks will be completed terminated. See the links to Zotero, Mendeley, and Endnote Basic below to switch to one of these robust, free options. Instructions for adding your RefWorks citations to Zotero, Mendeley, or Endnote Basic can be found in the links below as well.

Zotero Research Guide
A citation manager with a strong web plug-in for easy exporting to your citation library.
Mendeley Research Guide
A citation manager with robust PDF annotation and organization capabilities.
Endnote Basic Research Guide
A citation manager primarily for science and engineering scholars using Web of Science.
