Citing Sources on Knovel

Knovel has a handy "Citation" link that allows users to create a properly formatted citation for any reference book or database in the Knovel Library.

Here's how it works:

Go to the Table of Contents for any title in Knovel Library.

Click on the "Citations" link near the top of the TOC.

A box will open. Input the cited page number(s) in the box and click the "Continue" button.

That's it! An MLA (Modern Language Association) properly formatted citation will appear.

Knovel has programmed all necessary variations (single author, multiple authors, type of publication, etc.). All you need to do is indicate the page(s) and copy/paste the resulting citation. Give the Citation link a try. We hope you agree--it's kool!
