MLA and APA styles use in-text citations, whereas Chicago style uses footnotes. or via the link on the Edit Notecard screen. In-text citations and footnotes can be created either from the "More" (three dots) menu next to a citation on the Sources screen. Your NoodleTools notecards keep your direct quotation and paraphrase/summary separate from your own thoughts (in the "my ideas" field), to remind you that those items usually require in-text citations or footnotes. In Chicago style, a footnote is added instead of an in-text citation, but the purpose is the same. In MLA and APA styles, include an in-text citation any time you quote, paraphrase/summarize or refer to a source.
