Citation generator websites

Here are some free resources to generate single reference entries. Just like with generating a citation through the library tools, you must double-check any generated citations for accuracy. To better keep track of your references and more easily generate citations and entire bibliographies, try using a citation manager tool like Mendeley or Zotero.

Knight Cite (Calvin University)
NCSU Libraries Citation Builder
From North Carolina State University Libraries. Generates citations from manual entry. Output in APA 6, MLA 7, MLA 8, Chicago (author-date), and CSE/CBE (author-date).
ZoteroBib
From the creators of the Zotero citation manager. Generates citations from URL, ISBN, DOI, PMID, arXiv ID, title, or manual entry. Output in all common styles (APA 6, MLA 7, MLA 8, Chicago, Turabian) and thousands more. Unlike most citation generators, this tool can be used to create a list of multiple citations.
