NoodleTools in 60 Seconds: Creating a Citation

How to create and edit sources

Overview

NoodleTools will help you create MLA, APA, or Chicago-style citations that follow the guidance of the most recent citation style.

Step 1.

Click the green New Project button in the upper-right corner.

Step 2.

Enter the Project title, select a Citation style and Citation level.

Step 3.

Click the green New Source button in the upper-right corner.

Step 4.

You will be prompted to select where the source is (in print, on the web, in a database, etc.) and then what it is (a book, a blog post, a journal, a TV program, etc.). The choices will vary depending on what project level you selected. Below is an example of one using Junior level.

Step 4.

Once you select a source type, the citation form appears.

Step 5.

On the form, fill in as many details about your source as possible. Help text is often available when you put your cursor inside a field. Click on the blue information ("i") icon to view the tip.

Step 6.

Click Save to generate the source citation. If there are multiple citations in your source list, a link "Jump to a citation I just created" at the top the list will take you to the new citation that you just created (which is also highlighted in your list).

Step 7.

To edit a source citation, click the "More" (three dots) menu next to the entry and select "Edit." Modify the information about your source. You can:

Correct individual fields.
Use the dropdown list(s) at the top of the form to change the source or content types.
Modify the publication medium if necessary by selecting a different one on the left (e.g. "Website" instead of "Print"). Add any new data required if you have updated the publication medium or source/content type.

Click Save.
