About this site

A desk seen from above: two open books, a laptop, three highlighters, stacks of index cards and a cup of coffee on a navy cloth.

Cite Generator collects plain-language guides to citation styles and source types for anyone writing a paper.

The generator is not live yet

A generator for APA, MLA, Chicago and Harvard is on its way. Until it opens, nothing can be entered on this site, and we will announce it here when it is ready.

Check your style manual

The examples and guides show the general pattern of each style. Always compare them with your style manual or your instructor's guidance before you submit. Harvard in particular varies by institution.
