1. Click Sources in the navigation bar at the top of the screen to begin adding source references to a new project. 
2. Click 
3. When you create a new citation, you will be prompted to select where the source is and what type it is. 
4. Once you select what the source is, a new citation form will appear in the next screen. 
5. The form that you will complete to cite a source is dynamic and shows you only the fields that apply to your specific source. Those fields change based on the style (MLA, APA, or Chicago), level (Starter, Junior or Advanced), source type, content type, and publication medium selected. 
6. On the form, fill in as many details about your source as possible. Help text pops up with tips as you move from field to field.
7.  On the form, any field that has a red * is required. If the field has no data, you will not be able to submit the form. Note that other fields are also necessary to create the reference properly, but there are cases when those non-starred fields might need to be left empty.
8. Submit the form to add your reference to your source list.
9. Repeat all steps above for each source you wish to cite.

When you quote or paraphrase information from a source, you will need to include an in-text citation pointing to that source in your bibliography (the full list of sources at the end of your paper).

Generally, in-text citations include information such as the author's last name and the page number you are quoting/paraphrasing from. Different citation styles use different formats for in-text citations. For example, APA style also includes the year of publication.

1. Use the icon with three vertical dots to the right of the source, then click “in-text citation.”
2. This will bring up an example of an in-text citation (which you can customize with page numbers), along with some information about in-text citation rules in the style you are using.
