About This Tool

The tool converts structured bibliographic data into APA 7-compliant citations and references. It supports books, journal articles, web pages, and other common source types, applying author formatting, title capitalization, italics, and punctuation rules. It accepts primary fields (authors, year, title) plus source-specific details (journal name, volume/issue, page range, publisher, DOI, URL). By standardizing templates, it ensures consistent reference lists and accurate in-text citations across documents. The system is beneficial for students writing papers, researchers preparing manuscripts, and instructors validating formatting. It reduces manual editing time, minimizes stylistic errors, and provides copy-ready output suitable for direct inclusion in manuscripts or reference managers. The tool’s design emphasizes correctness, coverage of common APA 7 edge cases (multi-author lists, DOIs, URLs, and editor/edition data), and batch processing for multiple sources in a single session. Users can reuse consistent data schemas and obtain both narrative and parenthetical in-text citations, aligning with APA 7 guidance for citation placement and punctuation. This improves workflow efficiency during drafting, editing, and finalization of scholarly work.

How to Use

1. Provide inputs for a source: author(s), year, title, and source-specific details.
2. Select the source type (book, journal article, web page, etc) and complete required fields.
3. Run calculation to produce APA 7 reference and in-text citation.
4. Review outputs for accuracy and adjust fields if needed; to process multiple sources, repeat steps 1–3 for each item.
5. Copy outputs to clipboard or export to your document or reference manager.
