Biology - Library Resources and NCBI Databases: Citation
Guide content supports the teaching and research goals of multiple departments on campus. Content represents a non-exhaustive selection of essential resources and tools for engaging a wide range of backgrounds and viewpoints.
Why do we cite?
Scholarship is a conversation. When you cite, you are referring to another's work and giving them proper credit. You are giving your readers the opportunity to delve deeper into the topic by providing your references. You are also showing that you are building on scientific research from the past and how your ideas fit into the future!
Making links work from off campus: UI Libraries’ proxy server address
To make sure University of Iowa users can access the article away from campus, copy our proxy server address (login.proxy.lib.uiowa.edu/login?url=) into the URL so that the whole thing looks like https://login.proxy.lib.uiowa.edu/login?url=https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ydbio.2019.07.014. This will trigger the website to ask for HawkIDs and passwords to allow access to protected content.
