CITATION GENERATORS

Citation generators are tools to assist in creating citations from user input or URLs. These all have free versions - no need to create accounts or pay a fee. Keep in mind that citation generators do not do your thinking for you!  You must check each citation for accuracy before submitting work to your teacher!  Know your citation style: APA (social sciences) or MLA (most common for high school papers).

Research Tips!

When researching at home using the MCPS Online Services, you will need to access usernames/passwords from your teacher or in your online classroom (Google or myMCPS).  MCPS Online Services are marked with an asterisk (*).

Most of the articles from MCPS Online Services have MLA citations already created at the bottom of the webpage.  Feel free to copy/paste the citations into a text file (ex. Word) as you compile your bibliography.

This is part of the trial subscription offerings.  Refer to your handout for login information.  Trial subscriptions are marked with two asterisks (**).
