For some time I've used on online service to encourage my students to cite their sources. The service I've used most frequently is Citation Machine. David Warlick, creator of CM, has recently made some changes to the program and changed the name to
Son of Citation Machine. The URL has changed as well. It's now http://pinetlibrary.com/citationmachine.net/
My students alerted me to another online citation creator called
Knight Cite. I haven't used it but it appears to be similar to CM.
While neither site is foolproof in the citations created, it helps to get my students one step closer to citing their sources in close to APA (or MLA) style.
