Cite Sources with Confidence
Academic integrity is non-negotiable, but memorizing the placement of every comma and period in a bibliography is unnecessary. Our Citation Generator automates the technical side of referencing, allowing students and researchers to focus on their arguments, not their formatting.
Supported Styles
- APA (American Psychological Association): The standard for social sciences. Emphasizes the date of publication to prioritize current research.
- MLA (Modern Language Association): The standard for humanities and literature. Focuses on the author and page numbers for text analysis.
- Chicago: A flexible style often used in history and business, known for its comprehensive footnote system.
Why Use a Generator?
Manual citation is prone to error. A missing period or an italicized title that should be underlined can cost you grade points. Our tool ensures:
- Perfect Punctuation: Every comma and period is placed according to the latest style guides.
- Correct Ordering: Elements like Author, Title, and Publisher are arranged in the precise sequence required.
- Format Consistency: Ensure every entry in your bibliography looks exactly the same.
