Citing

Cite anything that you find and use through Trove, by properly attributing works to their creators. This will ensure that your copying or re-use of an item does not infringe moral rights.

Depending on the item category, citation formats available on Trove include:

  • APA (American Psychological Association)
  • MLA (Modern Language Association)
  • Harvard / Australian
  • Wikipedia
  • EndNote XML
  • BibTeX
  • URL format

  2. Copy or download the citation that is most appropriate for your needs.

Note: We recommend that you use the Article Identifier rather than the URL since the URL is subject to change.
