Can you explain how I should cite what I find in a standard format?
Answer
Give credit where credit is due; cite your sources. Citing or documenting the sources used in your research serves two purposes: (1) it gives proper credit to the authors of the materials you used, and (2) it allows those who are reading your work to duplicate your research and locate the sources that you have listed as references.
Knowingly representing the work of others as your own is plagiarism. See Texas Lutheran University's discussion of "Academic Honesty & Plagiarism" (Student Handbook, p. 6). Use a standard bibliographic citation style approved by your professor.
NoodleTools is a web-based program that allows you to collect, manage, and organize bibliographic references by either typing or copying and pasting information from databases. NoodleTools allows you to create notes and bibliographies in either the MLA (Modern Language Association) or APA (American Psychological Association) styles for opening in Microsoft Word. TLU students, faculty, and staff must create their own ID and password when first using the full version of NoodleTools.
