APA 7 Citation Generator for One Source

It formats one source at a time as APA 7 author-date citations and references. The citation and bibliography or reference entry are CSL-generated drafts based on the metadata supplied.

Manual entry supports journal articles, books, webpages, reports, videos, and newspaper articles. You can also try a DOI, URL, ISBN, or title lookup, but public metadata may be unavailable or incomplete.

No. DOI, URL, ISBN, and title lookup use public metadata on a best-effort basis. Review the selected record and add or correct missing authors, dates, titles, pages, and publication details.

A limited number of anonymous generations is available at no charge. Continued use may require signing in; the page does not promise unlimited anonymous use or access without an account.

No. The formatter consistently applies its current CSL rules to the supplied metadata, but it cannot recover missing facts or cover every exceptional rule. Verify the draft against APA Publication Manual, 7th edition and your institution or publisher requirements.

Use the most complete metadata available, then check whether your paper requires Chinese characters, romanization, or an English title translation. The correct presentation depends on the language of the paper and local APA requirements.

Yes, but transliteration and title-translation rules depend on the language of the paper and the institution. Treat the generated APA entry as a draft and follow the instructions for the work you are submitting.

This page uses APA 7 author-date citations and references. It does not claim to automate every rule or source category in the APA Publication Manual.

Use the same author form that begins the APA reference entry and keep the year consistent. Check romanization, name order, and any local-language requirements before submission.
