This free service downloads as an extension and allows users to cite and share sources. Developed by George Mason University.

When using citation generators you still need to check your citations for accuracy because:

they may not cover every type of source material you need to cite.
they may not be able to create the correct letter case as required (upper/lower case).
they may not use the most up-to-date standards for your citation style.
