What about automatic citation tools?

a) citation generators

Many library databases (for example, Sofia Discovery tool, EBSCO and ProQuest databases) and even Google Scholar, will provide you with formatted citations in the style of your choice that you can copy and paste into your bibliography, reference list or works cited list.

b) citation management tools

Sometimes also called bibliographic management tools, these allow you to:

• Download citations you find in library catalogues, databases, Google Scholar, and on the web.
• Store and organize citations, and prepare a bibliography or reference list automatically.
• Automatically format and insert in-text citations and a bibliography into papers you are writing with Microsoft Word, for example.
   

There are several citation management tools available. Concordia Library provides support for    Zotero,    .......

Once those two steps are completed and everything is installed, go to your favourite library database or to Google Scholar, and search for articles on a topic.

At the top right corner of your browser  you should see an indication that the Zotero connector is installed:

If you don't see the folder icon (or an icon that looks like a sheet of paper or a book) click on the extensions icon (looks like a puzzle piece) and make sure that the Zotero Connector is PINNED.  The pin will turn blue.

To save items to you Zotero library of citations, click on the folder icon (or paper or book  icon  if you are looking at only one citation)

By default ZOTERO tries to save items to your Zotero library in the desktop software you installed (but you can instead choose to enable the  Zotero Web library and save your citations online).

Zotero desktop software library:

Once citations are saved in your Zotero library you can create a bibliography:

1. select the items or the folder of items you want to include [right-click in the Zotero desktop software for Windows]
2. select "Create Bibliography"
3. select a citation style
4. paste the citations into your Word document

...OR you can insert citations and a bibliography directly into documents via your word processing software:
