📚 Free MLA & APA Citation Generator for Students
Fill in the author, title and date — get a correctly ordered MLA 9 or APA 7 Works Cited or References list.
How to use it
- Choose MLA or APA (your teacher's instructions will say which).
- Pick the source type and fill in what you know — leave blanks if the source doesn't show it.
- Add each source. The list sorts itself alphabetically; copy it or print it double-spaced.
Frequently asked questions
What if there is no author?
Leave it blank. MLA and APA both move the title to the front of the citation, and the generator does that for you.
Is this good enough to turn in?
It gets the order and punctuation right for common sources, but always compare with your teacher's examples — their rules come first.
