Step 1:
In one browser tab, open the NoodleTools project you are working on and navigate to the Sources screen.
Step 2:
In a second browser tab, open Infobase and navigate to the article you wish to cite.
Step 3:
Click Citation at the top of the article.
Step 4:
On the "Citation" screen, click "NoodleTools."
Note: The citation style of the example displayed in the database does not matter -- the citation style will match the style of the NoodleTools project you are importing into.
Step 5:
A new browser tab opens displaying the citation that will be imported into your NoodleTools project (check your pop-up blocker settings if this window does not open). Before you continue, verify that the project selected is correct.
Step 6:
Click the Import button. At the top of the page, look for a green confirmation, "1 citation successfully exported to project..."
Step 7:
Close the "NoodleTools Import" tab and return to the tab containing your Sources. Reload the Sources screen to view your imported citation. You'll notice that a note is added below the citation, "This reference was exported from the database."
