Some databases and websites will auto-generate citations for you. This is a great starting place for a citation, but they are not always accurate. Check an auto-generated citation with a stylebook or guide before submitting a paper.
Some databases, like Academic Search Complete, include a "cite" feature that will auto-generate APA, MLA, Chicago and other citations.
If there isn't an auto-generated citation within a database, try one of these free citation generator cites. You can also ask a librarian or the writing center!
