Getting Started

Welcome to Alkek Library's Research Guide for Writing Style Guides. Use the tabs above to navigate to resources on specific citation styles.

CheckCite from James Madison University is an online tool that address a number of citation styles

 

Using a Citation Manager

Consider using a citation manager instead of typing bibliographies and in-line citations by hand.  It will save you time.

RefWorks is a citation manager available to the campus community via the Library website that lets you:

  • export citation information from databases
  • import information from other sources
  • organize and generate works cited pages and bibliographies in a variety of styles.

The Library also has classes throughout the semester on using RefWorks.
