PLEASE NOTE: Do not copy and paste complete citations from electronic sources. NoodleTools cannot generate footnotes from copied and pasted citations.
To cite a Journal article, first choose the NoodleTools option that best describes where you found it:
- Database = a Taft Subscription Database such as Academic Search Complete or JSTOR.
- You must provide the permanent URL for your source. Look for any of the following on the page: permalink, persistent link, stable link, durable link, "Get link", Cite, or Citable Link.
- Website = a full-text journal article found through a search engine such as Google.
- Print or In Hand = a journal found in the library's Reading Room.
Next you will choose what type of source you are citing. In this case, Journal.
Most likely you found your article in one of the online databases. For your citation you will enter:
- information about the article itself: author, full title, and page numbers of the article.
- information about the journal: Name of journal, volume and issue number (if given), date of issue.
If you have any questions about citing articles, see (or email) Mr. Padgett or Ms. Taylor.
