It is a good idea to use a citation tool to help you with your citations. You can use either a citation generator or a citation management tool.

• Citation generators are great for quick projects like short papers with just a few resources.
• Citation management tools have more features and are most useful when working on a large project like a research paper or a capstone project.

A good citation management tool is Zotero. More information can be found at this link. 

A good citation generator is Zbib. Check out this quick tutorial about it.
