EEC Seminar Guide: Citing Sources

Citation managers are applications that collect, manage, and cite research sources. MSU Mankato's librarians recommend Mendeley or Zotero. 

Mendeley or Zotero can help you:

• Create bibliographies and in text citations for assignments and research projects. Available writing styles include APA, MLA, Chicago, and many more. 
• Organize citations to create a personalized literature database.
• Export citations for library databases and freely available websites.
• Save and annotate PDFs.

The following websites provide information for the American Psychological Association, 7th Edition writing style.
