No matter what type of material you are trying to cite, whether it’s an article from a database, an article from a print magazine, a novel, or even possibly a work of art, NoodleTools will help you cite it using APA, MLA, or Chicago style.

NoodleTools can do more than citations too! It can also assist you with these steps in the research process:
