Working on a Works Cited page for a research paper? Get it right. Use the resources available and make your life easier.
If you are using one of the EBSCO databases, when you are viewing an article detail, you can see how the citation for that article should be formatted in a variety of popular citation formats, including MLA, APA, etc.
To view citation formats for an article:
1.Run a search on EBSCOhost and view a search result. From the article details, click the Cite icon.
2.When you have decided which citation format you want for the article, copy and paste the citation directly into the Works Cited or References page of a document created in a word processing program such as Word.
3.Be sure to consult your library resources for the exact formatting and punctuation guidelines for the citation format you are using. That would be a librarian or the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Be sure to use the sixth edition.
The EBSCO databases available through the Goodwin Library include: CINAHL (Cumulative Indext to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, PsycARTICLEs, PsycINFO, GreenFILE, and Library, Information Science, and Technology Abstracts.
Databases from other vendors, such as Gale or Proquest, also provide similar access to citation formats. Life is good.
