Academic citations are notoriously fussy: APA wants "Smith, J. K. (2024)" and italicizes the journal name; MLA wants "Smith, John K." and italicizes the book title; Chicago wants "Smith, John K." with the year in parentheses after the journal; BibTeX wants a key, an @article{}, and curly-brace-quoted fields. Forgetting any of the punctuation or italic rules can lose marks or invalidate a submission. The Bibliography Builder lets you enter each reference once — authors, year, title, container (journal/site/publisher), and a few format-specific fields — and renders the same bibliography in APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago notes-and-bibliography, and BibTeX with a single click between formats. Five source types are supported: books, journal articles, websites, newspaper articles, and videos. Up to 20+ authors are handled correctly per APA's rules (commas + ampersand, "et al." past 20). Copy the rendered output into Word, Google Docs, Overleaf, or your reference manager.
APA 7: family name + initials of given names, comma-separated, ampersand before the last ("Smith, J. K., & Doe, A."). MLA 9: first author "Last, First", subsequent authors "First Last", "and" before last; 3+ authors collapse to "et al.". Chicago (bibliography style): first author "Last, First", subsequent "First Last", "and" before last; 4+ collapse to "et al.". BibTeX: all authors as "Last, First", separated by " and " (literal). The form takes given + family name once per author; the tool handles the style-specific punctuation automatically.
