Citations in EBSCO
For a single citation in an EBSCO database, click the article title to access the detailed record. Click the "cite" button in the right toolbar then choose the recommended style. (The "Tools" menu is only available on the detailed item record; it is not on the results page.) Copy, paste, and edit the citation to match the required citation style and your professor's requirements.
The EBSCO Folder is a personal information management tool to save articles, save searches, create citations lists, write notes, and more. Create a folder then sign in to your folder. Note: Items added to the default folder are NOT saved. You must be logged into your EBSCO folder to save items.
For multiple citation use the EBSCO folder:
- After you add the articles to the folder, click Folder has items at the top of the page.
In the folder: - Click checkboxes to mark items to be cited.
- Click the Print icon (in the right toolbar).
In the Print Manager window: - Uncheck HTML Full Text and Search History boxes, if showing and checked.
- Choose a Citation Format.
- Click Print (items are reformatted for printing) then cancel the print.
- Select the citations to save or copy/paste/edit the citations in your document.
(Important: When pasting the citations choose Merge Formatting to match the formatting that surrounds the text. The default paste option, Keep source Formatting, may look like it matches the citation format, but it keeps the Web page code formatting which would need to be undone.)
