Can a database help me to create a citation for an article?
Answer
Yes! Many of our databases include a "Cite" tool. Click on an article title from the search results, then look for a quotation mark ("), which is usually located above the selected article title.
Please note: Check these citations to ensure they are formatted according to the citation style you are using and to ensure that they are complete. For more Information, see the FAQ, "Where do I find citation information?", linked below.

While this document uses examples from EBSCOhost, many library databases offer similar tools.
