Citing Sources in APA 7th Edition: RefWorks & Endnote

You will need to collect many, many articles over the course of your doctoral journey. The dissertation alone typically includes at least 100 sources!

Keeping so many resources organized saves time. 

Citation management software helps you organize, format, and store your citations as you gather them from across many different resources. 

The library provides access to 2 Citation Management software programs, RefWorks and EndNote:

Access RefWorks or EndNote through the RefWorks & EndNote guide.
