Citation Generator FAQs
What is the difference between APA and MLA?
APA (American Psychological Association) is used in psychology, education, and social sciences. It uses author-date in-text citations. MLA (Modern Language Association) is used in humanities and literature. It uses author-page in-text citations.
When do I use Chicago style?
Chicago style is used in history, arts, and some humanities. It has two systems: Notes-Bibliography (footnotes + bibliography) for humanities, and Author-Date (similar to APA) for sciences. The Chicago 17th edition is the current version.
Do I need to include the URL in citations?
For online sources, including the URL is required in APA 7, MLA 9, and Chicago 17. Include the date you accessed the page since web content can change. For stable DOI links, use the DOI instead of the URL.
