Formatting Citations in EBSCO

Did you know that EBSCO can automatically format article citations to APA, MLA, Chicago, and other citation formats for the "References" or "Sources Cited" pages of your research paper?

It's easy — here's how:

  1. Run your search in EBSCO. Use the "Add" button to the right of the citation list of each article you want. (You may run multiple searches in EBSCO and do this for each article - EBSCO will save all of your articles until you end your session.)
