Computer Science: Writing and Citing

The majority of the Library's e-resources can generate a single citation for you.

Places to look for the Cite Button or other Citation Tools in E-Resources:

• The right-hand menu on the article abstract page.
• At the top of the results list.
• Immediately under each citation in the results list.
• At the very bottom of an article or article abstract page.

Citation managers are online tools that allow you to:

• Organize and save citations and articles
• Generate in-text citations and reference lists
• Share citations and articles with colleagues
• And more!

There is a bit of a learning curve with these tools, but they can help you stay organized and save time in the long run. The Library recommends two free citation managers: 

• Zotero
• Endnote Basic

To explore these tools and learn how to use them, check out the Library's Citation Managers Guide.
