Digital Tools for Project Management & Collaboration: Managing References & Citations

Use these tools to help you build citations in various formats, or access the dropdown menu under the Tools for Citing Sources tab to see more detailed information about other options.

Different citation formats are used by different academic disciplines.  Professors will often require a particular format, but if they have no preference these guidelines may be helpful:

• APA - psychology, education, and other social sciences
• MLA - literature, arts, and humanities
• Turabian - designed for college students to use with all subjects
• Chicago - used with all subjects in the "real world" by books, magazines, newspapers and other non-scholarly publications
