Frequently Asked Questions
Which style should I use?
APA for sciences, MLA for humanities, Chicago for history/publishing — check the assignment rubric first. Wrong style loses marks regardless of correctness.
What sources work?
Books, websites, journals, articles, and videos — every field typed by hand. There is no ISBN lookup and no metadata auto-fill; verify author and date yourself.
In-text plus bibliography?
Reference-list entries only — no separate in-text parentheticals generate. Copy the entry into your bibliography and write matching in-text markers yourself.
Is source data uploaded?
No — generation runs locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
What happens with missing fields or many authors?
A blank year prints (n.d.) and a blank title prints [Untitled]; 3 or more authors collapse to ‘First, et al.’ in APA, MLA, Harvard, and Chicago. Seven formats (APA 7th through Vancouver) across five source types — reference-list entries only, no in-text parentheticals.
