The RRU Library can help you to locate the citations for specific items; in fact, Discovery and Google Scholar both offer a cite tool (see below screenshot).

However, for questions about the correct APA Style formatting for in-text citations and references for your research papers, we recommend you leverage the expertise of our colleagues in the Writing Centre. Start by searching WriteAnswers by keyword (e.g., "how do I cite personal communication"). If you're unable to find the information you need, schedule a 30-minute appointment with the Writing Centre.

It's also important to understand that while a computer-generated citation is a helpful starting point, citation tools are not perfect; it remains your responsibility to ensure your citations are correct.

If you're looking for help with a citation manager, the RRU Library recommends and supports Zotero. Our Zotero Help Guide provides guidance for downloading, installing, and using Zotero. For additional help, schedule an online appointment to learn how to use Zotero.
