The Citation Machine

A very useful tool for constructing citations in APA (American Psychological Association), MLA (Modern Language Association format), or Chicago/Turabian format is The Citation Machine. It is especially valuable because it gives you guidance in citing many different formats from books and journal articles to web pages and personal email messages. The Citation Machine requires that you identify the pieces of information for which it asks. No punctuation is required but you do need to use capitalization where appropriate.
