Citation Generators

Citation generators allow you to enter your source's bibliographic information (such as title and author for a journal article, web page, or book) in order to produce a citation in your selected format.

Check the citations generated through these tools, as they can make errors.

Here is a selected list of citation generators:

  • ZoteroBib
    • Create citations and bibliographic references for 10,000+ citation styles
    • Create them manually, or enter a URL, DOI or ISBN
  • EasyBib
    • Create citations and bibliographic references for MLA, APA, Turabian, and Chicago styles.
    • Look up sources by URL, title, and ISBN.
  • KniteCite
    • Create citations and bibliographic references for MLA, APA, Turabian, and Chicago styles.
    • Create citations for multiple source formats (e.g. multimedia, radio program, film).

Some library databases have built-in citation generators that allow you to click on a "Cite" button to get a citation for that article or book.
