After months of meticulously unraveling the mysteries of subatomic particles, she was finally ready to present her groundbreaking findings to the world. From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enago.com\/academy\/research-aims-and-objectives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">writing the aim<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enago.com\/academy\/literature-review-tips-for-the-introduction-and-discussion-sections\/\">drafting the discussion<\/a> of her research, she had everything ready.<\/p>\n<p>Alas!

Her lab was a storehouse of books, journals, and sticky notes, each holding a clue to critical pieces of her research. One evening, she sat down to organize her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enago.com\/academy\/two-types-of-references-in-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">references<\/a>. She opened her laptop and found herself confronting the chaos of her citation library! Multiple references had accumulated over the months, and her references were scattered across different documents and folders. \u201cThis is a bibliographic nightmare!\u201d, she thought.<\/p>\n<p>Amy wished she could bend time like she believed particles could bend space. Her nerves frayed as her life became a cycle of reference management and caffeine-fueled research. Her once-clean desk now resembled a recycling center! As Amy was on the brink of despair, Sarah, her sister who was a high-school student, dropped by. She surveyed the chaos and caught the distraught look on Amy\u2019s face.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey Sandy Cheeks! Why do you appear lost?&#8221; Sarah asked, trying to lighten her mood. Amy sighed and explained her battle with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enago.com\/academy\/how-to-manage-references-tips-on-inserting-citations-avoiding-plagiarism-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">managing references<\/a> and generating citations.

It acknowledges the relevance of the original source of your research and gives it the credit which it rightfully deserves. Additionally, it guides other researchers to address unanswered questions in the domain. Citation acknowledges the relevance of others\u2019 work in building our research and therefore play a key role in establishing your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enago.com\/academy\/rationale-in-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">research rationale<\/a>. Furthermore, it is required to add a citation whenever we add a quote or paraphrase an original reference to avoid the risk of plagiarism. Additionally, it provides a roadmap to the readers and assures them that your research is a result of extensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enago.com\/academy\/how-to-write-good-literature-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">literature review<\/a> and not castles in the air!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sarah exclaimed, \u201cOh! But I can see that you have already collected a lot of references. So, why can&#8217;t you just enter them in your manuscript? It is the reference that would matter anyway!\u201d Amy sighed, \u201cSadly, it doesn\u2019t work that way. There are several styles of citing a reference. Citation styles are basically a set of guidelines to cite your source. It is based on factors like the academic discipline, institutional principles and demands of the journal to which we submit our manuscript for publishing. Although I have all my references collected, I missed out on organizing them in a same style. So, it piled up and now I\u2019m clueless on how to proceed!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During this conversation, Amy\u2019s senior Leo entered the room. He had been listening to the entire conversation. Leo said, \u201cSeems like you are wrestling with a black hole! I heard your conversation with Sarah. Why don\u2019t you try using a citation generator tool?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sarah seemed clueless. Leo smiled and continued, \u201cCitation generator tools and citation tools are software or websites that creates citations and organizes your references. It automates the process of finding, annotating and formatting your references; thus saving time and efforts. This is even possible with the basic MS Word. Let me show you how!\u201d Sarah seemed surprised and asked,<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CHow_can_one_cite_using_MS_Word%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>&#8220;How can one cite using MS Word?&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Leo opened MS Word in his laptop and demonstrated them how to insert a preferred style of citation using the application.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44153 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Cite_.png\" alt=\"MS word for citation\" width=\"1540\" height=\"374\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/uat-wordpress.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Cite_.png 1540w, https:\/\/uat-wordpress.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Cite_-470x114.png 470w, https:\/\/uat-wordpress.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Cite_-750x182.png 750w, https:\/\/uat-wordpress.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Cite_-768x187.png 768w, https:\/\/uat-wordpress.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Cite_-1536x373.png 1536w, https:\/\/uat-wordpress.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Cite_-150x36.png 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1540px) 100vw, 1540px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1540px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1540\/374;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-44152 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Cite_2.png\" alt=\"Cite Using MS Word\" width=\"1527\" height=\"668\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/uat-wordpress.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Cite_2.png 1527w, https:\/\/uat-wordpress.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Cite_2-470x206.png 470w, https:\/\/uat-wordpress.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Cite_2-750x328.png 750w, https:\/\/uat-wordpress.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Cite_2-768x336.png 768w, https:\/\/uat-wordpress.enago.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Cite_2-150x66.png 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1527px) 100vw, 1527px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1527px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1527\/668;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Leo continued, \u201cMS Word provides a free option to cite your sources where all you have to do is select the citation style and place it in the end of the statement that needs to be cited. However, there are specialized citation tools with better features than MS word for managing citation. These tools can be helpful in building a personal collection of references which can be helpful in the future.
