Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a bibliography in APA format?
APA format: Author Last, First Initial. (Year). Title in italics. Publisher. For journal articles: Author. (Year). Title. Journal Name, Volume(Issue), Pages. DOI. The tool generates correctly formatted entries from your source details.
What is the difference between a bibliography and a reference list?
A reference list includes only sources cited in your paper. A bibliography includes all sources consulted, even if not cited. APA and MLA use "References" and "Works Cited" respectively. The tool generates both formats.
How do I cite a website in MLA format?
MLA 9th edition: Author. "Page Title." Website Name, Publisher, Day Month Year, URL. If no author, start with the title. If no date, use "n.d." The tool handles missing fields and formats the entry correctly.
How do I format a bibliography in Chicago style?
Chicago has two systems: Notes-Bibliography (humanities) and Author-Date (sciences). Notes-Bibliography: Author First Last. Title. Place: Publisher, Year. The tool supports both Chicago systems with proper formatting.
How do I alphabetize a bibliography correctly?
Sort by author's last name. Multiple works by same author: sort by year (oldest first in APA). Ignore "A," "An," "The" at the start of titles. Organizations as authors: alphabetize by first significant word. The tool auto-sorts entries.
