Generating Citations

Many databases allow you to automatically generate citations. This is very convenient but beware:

MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR CITATION MANUALLY!

Many times formatting is lost in the copying and pasting of these citations.  And sometimes they add extra parts to a citation that are not required (In fact, we strongly recommend you do NOT cite as suggested in Pop Culture Universe entries)!
