Frequently Asked Questions

Which citation style should I use?

APA is most common in the social sciences and psychology, MLA is standard in literature and humanities, and Chicago style is widely used in history and some publishing contexts. Check your assignment guidelines or publication requirements if you're unsure which one is expected.

What if I don't have all the fields, like a publisher?

Leave any field blank that doesn't apply to your source — the generator skips missing fields gracefully rather than showing empty placeholders in the final citation.

Does this citation follow the exact latest style guide edition?

This generates a close, standard-format approximation of APA 7th edition, MLA 9th edition, and Chicago 17th edition styles for common source types. For unusual sources or high-stakes academic submissions, double-check against your institution's official style guide.
