“As a core part of its mission, the University of Arkansas provides students with the opportunity to further their educational goals through programs of study and research in an environment that promotes freedom of inquiry and academic responsibility. Accomplishing this mission is only possible when intellectual honesty and individual integrity prevail.”
“Each University of Arkansas student is required to be familiar with and abide by the University’s ‘Academic Integrity Policy’ which may be found at http://provost.uark.edu/ Students with questions about how these policies apply to a particular course or assignment should immediately contact their instructor.”
There are numerous tools available to aid with creating citations. Many are freely available on the web and are handy for formatting a specific item. Check out our links under the tab for Other Citation Tools.
However, if you plan to do in-depth research and collect many citations, it is recommended that you use a more robust program such as the ones described below.
The University Libraries supports three software programs used for citation management:
Each has features which make them unique. However, all of them help you collect and organize bibliographic citations for journal articles, books, websites, and other types of research material. Each also has a tool for aiding in embedding citations and creating reference lists in your word processing document as you write.
