Citation generators, reference checks and bibliography formatting
Start with the citation generator when you are adding books, journal articles or webpages one at a time. Enter details manually or review a DOI/ISBN lookup. Choose the style and edition required by your assignment before copying the output.
Use the bibliography formatter when you already have supported BibTeX or RIS records. It previews imports before adding them, so you can inspect source types and possible duplicates. The citation checker supplies a separate review of metadata; its pasted-reference mode covers only a limited APA subset.
Formatting and verification are different tasks. Compare source details with the work you read, match references to citations in your essay, and apply the required document layout. The tools do not verify publications or repair arbitrary pasted reference lists.
