The Emory Libraries Citing Your Sources Research Guide provides information on why to cite sources, how to avoid plagiarism, how to avoid common mistakes, and a list of style manuals.
You can also visit websites with basic guidelines on how to use common style formats, such as:
Duke University Libraries, Citing Sources (Chicago and APA styles)
There are some citation software for you to use to organize your citations and instantly create properly formatted bibliographies, such as EndNote and Zotero. Emory has a site license for EndNote and you can obtain a free copy by downloading the software from Emory's Software Express site.
For help with EndNote or Zotero, visit the Library's Help Guides or sign up for one of the classes we offer throughout the semester.
When you are writing a research paper and need help thinking through your topic or organizing your paper's content, Emory Writing Center provides thoughtful one-on-one attention and feedback at any stage of the writing process.
Meetings with tutors are available by appointment.
