Formatting references correctly is one of the most tedious, error-prone parts of academic writing — and one of the easiest places to lose marks for reasons that have nothing to do with your actual argument. A missing italics, a wrong date format, or an incorrectly ordered author list can all cost you marks against a rubric criterion for "referencing accuracy," even when your research and analysis are strong.
This tool exists to remove that friction entirely: paste what you have, in whatever state it's in, and get back a properly formatted APA 7th edition reference list with matching in-text citations.
APA 7th edition has specific, sometimes counterintuitive rules: author names are inverted and initialed, only the first word of a title and proper nouns are capitalized, journal titles are capitalized normally but italicized, and the punctuation between elements follows an exact pattern that's easy to get slightly wrong without noticing. Multiply that by twenty or thirty sources in a literature review, and small formatting errors compound quickly.
It reads whatever source information you provide — a URL, a rough note like "Smith 2019 book about leadership," a half-finished citation in the wrong style, or a scanned reading list — and produces two things for each source: the correctly formatted reference list entry, and its matching in-text citation. Where a source is missing information APA requires (like a publication date or a specific page range for a direct quote), that's flagged clearly rather than invented.
Will this work for a source I only have a vague memory of?
It works best with at least a title, author, or URL to anchor the search — the more detail you provide, the more accurate the result.
Does it handle websites and social media, not just books and journals?
Yes — APA 7th edition has specific formats for websites, social media posts, reports, and more, and the tool applies the correct one based on the source type.
Paste your sources above and get a correctly formatted APA reference list in seconds.
