See the other boxes on this page for help generating citations in databases and managing citations.
Part of researching is having a strategy on how to manage all the resources/citations you've found. You can use a citation management tool like Zotero to organize citations to sources, collect digital files such as full-text PDFs, and cite sources automatically when writing papers.
Many databases will generate a citation for you in the style of your choosing. They're not always perfect, but they provide a helpful start. Be on the look out for the feature when you're on a database!
