Creating citations in the Bibliography

EasyBib’s citation tool allows users to intuitively create citations.

Click Bibliography for the project you want to create citations for.

EasyBib offers the ability to cite 59

different source types. Users can site

using:

• Manual entry - users manually enter all

the information into each citation form.

• Auto-cite – Users enter a key piece of

information, such as a book ISBN or a journal

article DOI, and we pull the information for

the source into the form. This is available for

22 types.
