Citation Generator

Citation formatting rules — where commas go, what's italicized, how to handle a missing author — are exactly the kind of detail that's easy to get subtly wrong. This tool builds a correctly formatted citation and matching in-text reference for APA, MLA, or Chicago style from your source details.

Who it's for: Students building a works-cited page or bibliography who already have their source details in hand.

Tip: Fill in whatever fields you actually have — if something's missing (like a publish date), the tool flags it rather than guessing, so you know exactly what to track down.
