Publishing Support

Following a citation style is important for properly attributing and locating other's work. Ensuring your citations are correct may seem tedious, but proper citation demonstrates academic rigor, facilitates the connection of ideas, and progresses science. Fortunately, it is easier than ever to compile and generate citations with tools like citation managers, so be sure to review the Temple supported options on this page

Citation Tips

• When submitting for publication, be sure to use the citation style explicitly preferred by the journal. This information can usually be found in the 'Submission Guidelines' or 'For Authors' sections of journal websites
• Use a citation manager to compile articles and easily export bibliographies and in-text citations into manuscripts
• Although databases, citation managers, and other resources can output citations in popular citation styles, double-check them for accuracy. Automatically generated citations can be derived from imperfect metadata and be flawed according to a citation style's exact specifications

Citation managers save time and make it easy to:

• Gather citations from databases and websites
• Edit, organize, and search citations
• Output citations in many formats (APA, AMA, Chicago, etc.)
• Reformat your manuscript's references to match a journal's submission guidelines and preferred citation style

Citation managers integrate with word-processing programs for inputting in-text citations and generating bibliographies.
