Research Methods–Databases 12 Important Notice Automatic citations generated by a database should be checked and compared against a reliable citation guide such as Purdue Owl . Guides are found on the LAHC website under the WRITING & RESEARCH tab. Automatic citations are generated by a computer, not by a qualified professional. As they are not guaranteed to be always accurate, it’s best to compare before submitting papers to your instructor.
