- Fill in the author name, publication year, title, and media details.
- Click 'Copy' on the style card to receive the formatted text directly on your clipboard without asterisks.
FAQ
- What do the asterisks in the generated outputs represent?
- They demarcate italicized text formatting in markdown. When you use the 'Copy' button, the tool automatically strips these asterisks so you get clean, standard rich text formatting on your clipboard.
- How can I cite multiple authors?
- This tool generates single-author citations. To cite multiple authors, copy the generated text and manually edit the author field: add ', & Author2' (APA) or 'and Author2' (MLA) directly.
- Can I generate a citation for a news article or a YouTube video with this tool?
- This tool directly supports only three source types: books, journal articles, and websites. For a news article or YouTube video, the closest fit is the 'Website' tab — enter the publication or channel name as the author and the link as the URL to get an approximate citation, then manually add any missing details (publication date, media type, etc.) according to the official style guide you're following.
