Citing Using NoodleTools
Videos to help you cite various sources in Noodle Tools
Some things to know first:
- Do not blindly trust a database to correctly cite a source for you.
- I caution you against simply copying and pasting because other mistakes happen that way, such as accidentally leaving parts behind. JUST DON'T DO IT!
- If you DO import a citation directly, ALWAYS CHECK IT!
- Your best bet to get accuracy is to put in each element of a citation into NoodleTools yourself, line by line. This sounds like a pain, but trust me. It's the best way to be mistake-free.
