Citing and referencing the information sources used in student assignments and research is essential to avoid plagiarism. 

The OWL (Online Writing Lab) is a good place to start if you need advice or help with paraphrasing, avoiding plagiarism or getting started with a particular citation style.

Journal Abbreviations

Abbreviated journal titles may be required depending on the citation style used. Some useful tools which 'translate' the full journal title into the abbreviated version are:

1. Web of Science Journals
2. CASSI
3. All that JAS

 

Reference manager software
