📚 Citation Maker
ℹ️ What this tool does & how it works
The gap between a good reference list and a marked-down one is usually punctuation: where the year sits, what is in italics, whether a webpage needs an access date. Fill five boxes once and this page places them the way each style wants. Copy the result into your assignment — and cross-check anything unusual (edited chapters, interviews, old editions) against your school guide.
Access dates are not decoration
A book citation is a promise that anyone can find the same words you did; a webpage citation is a promise about a moving target. That is why the newer styles grew an access date — the page you read may be revised or gone by the time your marker clicks the link. Screenshot anything you cite from a site with no author, no date and no sign of maintenance, and name the screenshot in the entry.
