HOW IT WORKS
You can generate a bibliography entry to paste into your word processor. The bibliography builder gives you a form to fill in. At each step check the Help to be sure you are entering the data correctly. Then simply press Submit.   This feature requires a browser with JavaScript and frames capability (such as Netscape Navigator 2.01 and higher, and Internet Explorer 3.0 and higher).

Earlier sections of the Accurate Documentation web collection describe how, when, and why you should document your work.

WHICH VERSION?
This popular utility is now available in two documentation styles.  While nearly every engineering discipline has its own documentation style, we have tried to provide two basic and widely useful models.  Either will enable you to create an accurate reference list for books and articles.  For other sources see the two parallel "How to Document" pages.

1.1 Author-Date Style Documentation (Chicago Manual of Style)

     Used sometimes in Civil, Mechanical, and Chemical Engineering as well as social sciences, and humanities.

1.2 IEEE Style Documentation (a citation-sequence system)

     Used in Electrical and Computer Engineering as well as sometimes in Mechanical and Chemical Engineering.
