There are multiple ways to keep track of articles and citations as you research. Within Ebscohost, there are many options on the article records page under the "tools" section:
The Email option will email a URL and abstract including citation information to the email of your choice. Often, this will email will land in your spam folder, be sure to check your spam folder to retrieve the information.
The Permalink option creates a permanently functioning link that will connect you to the article page:
Copy and paste the permalink into your own document in order to keep track of relevant.
The top three "Tools" options in Ebscohost request that you connect your Ebscohost account to your Google or Microsoft email account. This option for saving articles is useable, but not recommended. If you do choose to pursue individual database accounts, you'll need to create an account for each database and will not be able to view articles across databases.
Instead, St. Thomas Libraries recommends using a citation manager. Citation Managers are applications or websites that store and organize source information. This means that a researcher using a citation manager can quickly find the sources they put into the manager and can easily create bibliographies in a variety of citation styles and even create accurate internal citations while writing research papers.
