Citation Builders
Important! These online tools are often helpful in generating citations, but accuracy is not guaranteed. Always check the results using an authoritative style guide. Refworks is a powerful citation management and formatting program. Son of Citation Machine and BibMe have less functionality than Refworks, but are much easier to use. There are also additional citation builders on the web.
- Refworks - Access restricted to Nipissing and Canadore students, faculty and staff
- Son of Citation Machine - David Warlick & The Landmark Project
- BibMe - A student project from Carnegie-Mellon University
