Publishing information resources: Citing & writing

Citing

Publishing at SFU has a preference for the Chicago style.

Two other major academic styles are also frequently used:

Citation management software tools collect your journal article, book, or other document citations together in one place, and link them to the PDFs of articles that you store. They also help you create properly formatted bibliographies in almost any style -- in seconds. Several software tools exist, though SFU Library officially supports Zotero
