Generating Bibliography in Citation

In using Citation to create a bibliography, it's important that you first open MS Word and through MS Word open Citation. Here are the specific details:

  1. Open MS Word (or Wordperfect).
  2. On the menubar under "Tools", click on Citation 9 to open it.
  3. Open the datafile (under File) that you wish to use.
  4. In Citation, under Generate, click on Bibliography from Datafile.
  5. Put check marks in Alphabetize and Include Abstracts.
  6. Find the style you want. (If you don't know, just take the first one.)
  7. Click on OK.

This will put the bibliography into your MS Word document, which you can then print out either at home or at school, or email as an attachment.
