You will want to use a citation manager. EndNote is free via SLU!
- EndNote is a citation management software that can make it easier to keep track of your research and to create properly formatted citations and bibliographies for your research projects.
- EndNote allows you to:
- Save references and PDFs from databases
- Cite articles in the body of your paper in APA format
- Create your APA formatted reference list at the end of your paper
IMPORTANT:
- Don't save EN libraries to cloud services or network drives--the EN Library may become corrupted. Save to a local hard drive or jump drive.
- There are 2 parts to an EN library: .enl file and .Data folder--both must be kept together!
- Do not use EndNote to access and search databases.
- Be careful: EN X9, 20, and 21 are not fully compatible!
