How to choose the best online citation tools « Fourcultures. Just as I finally get used to loving Zotero, it looks like Mendeley is set to claim my heart. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, these are on-line citation tools for academic research and writing. They use various different methods for collecting and manipulating metadata relating to books, journals, papers and websites – and then linking it all together automagically. They hold out the promise of automating activities that until now have been painstaking and laborious for researchers, and of creating new opportunities for collaboration that never existed before.

But there is a down side. Since each tool is slightly different and offers different but overlapping benefits, it’s not clear which one you should use. So, if I store all my citations in Zotero, that’s helpful, but it means I’m not taking advantage of the tools the others offer. But to do so might underestimate the rate of change on the web.

APA style guide - Part 1. The APA Manual began in 1929 as an article to discuss the form of journal manuscripts.

By 1952 the guidelines were issued as a separate document called the Publication Manual. Today, the manual is in its sixth edition, and the APA format is a widely recognized standard for many forms of writing. In most manuscripts, double-spacing is required throughout.
