Citation Generator

Citation Generator is perfect when you know that your research is going to be varied and you’re looking to cite more unusual sources of information. Just like most citation apps you can create different projects to organize your sources and with just a few clicks have a complete bibliography without all of the hard work. Before scanning or inputting the information for the particular document you wish to cite you can choose what exactly it is you are citing and the options feel almost limitless, with the standard books and research papers but also the slightly stranger Facebook, blogs and artwork. This huge choice makes Citation Generator super handy for people carrying out a much broader piece of research who need a way to organize all of their different sources and easily collate them into a reference list.

Citation Creator is a very clean and sleek app that makes organizing and formatting your references super easy and stress-free. Before starting a piece of research you can create a folder within the app where you can store all of your reading and citations. With Citation Creator you are not limited to the typical books, journals and websites that some apps assume are the only sources of essay writing material but can instead choose from a wide variety of different sources. You can either scan documents such as books and have the app create the citation for you or you can manually input information and watch as your citation is created in real time as you type in the documents details. When you have completed your project and are ready to submit Citation Creator will provide you with a reference list that you can then transfer to your essay, making the whole process as simple as possible.

CiteX

CiteX is a slightly different tool for referencing instead of doing all the hard work for you CiteX aims to teach you correct referencing rules according to your chosen style. The app includes mini-lessons and examples, as well as practise questions that give you a chance to test how much you have learnt without the fear of handing in a badly referenced essay and being marked down.
