Database Citation Tools
Most library databases have built-in citation and linking tools. Read more about Linking to Sources to make sure you have what you need for your works cited page or bibliography.

ScienceDirect does not provide MLA or APA formatted citation but you can export the citation in a plain text format to then copy and paste (and format) into a specific style guide. Use the Export button and then select Export citation to text.
Google Scholar
Google Scholar can also be used to help you identify bibliographic information and get pre-formatted citations. Google Scholar’s citation tool will not automatically include the library database information so that may need to be added manually if you have located the source using the Full-Text @ Hartness link.
For example, in MLA format, you need to add the name of the library database (ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, Opposing Viewpoints) after the page numbers.
