Sign-in to Cite Them Right - Click Login, select “Keele University” from the institution list and log in with your Keele username and password.

Cite Them Right is an ideal tool to help you construct references for standard resource types, such as: books, ebooks, journals, and journal articles, but also for less common resource types, such as: UK statutes, patents and social networking sites (Instagram, Facebook, etc.)
You can format your references in Harvard, APA, Chicago, OSCOLA, Vancouver and other common styles.
You can also work through a tutorial of 11 topics helping you to understand why referencing is so important; how to avoid plagiarism; and how to insert citations into your text. It’s an ideal resource to help students navigate and reference resources in the modern world. These require you to register for a personal account using your Keele email address.

The Library runs training workshops on using Cite Them Right. Further details can be found here: https://www.keele.ac.uk/library/training/inanutshell/.
