Citation Help


Citations play a crucial role in academic research by giving proper credit to original sources and helping others locate the referenced material. Accurate citation also helps maintain academic integrity and avoid plagiarism.

Three key tools and formats are featured:

  • NoodleTools offers structured support for organizing research, generating citations, and building bibliographies across multiple citation styles.
  • MLA Style is often used in the humanities and emphasizes clear attribution through author-page references and standardized formatting.
  • APA Style is commonly applied in the social sciences and uses an author-date citation system along with a structured references list.

These resources support the development of responsible research practices and clear, ethical communication of ideas.
