Citation Machine is a free website that makes citations for you. There are a variety of different formats that you can input for citing. This includes websites, books, videos, journals, magazines, and more. Simply by copying and pasting the link to a website or searching by title, the website is able to pull all of the necessary information for making a citation for you. Most of the time, it can pull the author’s name, publisher, date published, and title. Both in text citations and full works cited citations are created. The site even has options to change the citation style from MLA, APA, or Chicago. After creating each of your citations, Citation Machine will automatically put them in alphabetical order with hanging indents. You can simply copy and paste these directly into your essay. While it is free, the site does have you watch a short ad before it completes your first citation. There is a paid version offered, but it’s not necessary to use the website.
My main goal is to be an English teacher, but I would also like to be a published author. If I continue writing, I’m going to be using Citation Machine a lot to make sure I am citing correctly. I have been using this website for years and I’ve never had any problems with it, other than the lag. I think the citations always come out correct and it takes less than a minute to create multiple citations. It’s very user friendly.
Citation Machine was a staple for me in middle school and highschool. It is super easy to use and gets the job done perfectly. Though I do prefer to use the citation tool built into GoogleDocs now, this is still a great source for when I am doing a project in Microsoft or some other platform.
ReplyDeleteI use Citation Machine as a template. It is hard as a college student to always search for the rules of how to cite. The Citation Machine works best with these tasks. I also like that it has the function of searching on the web. It can tell what is missing and what kind of material it is.
ReplyDeleteCitation Machine looks so useful to use for writing a paper. I'll be sure to check it out when writing my next paper. It makes citation for sources so much easier by just inputting the little information about the sources.
ReplyDeleteCitation Machine is a great source for college papers because not all professors ask for the same type of format when citing the sources that you used. Citation Machine makes it quick and easy to neatly organize your sources.
