This Citation Builder interactive also includes:
Does the publication date come before or after the title? Should there be a comma between the location and year? The answer depends on whether you're using the MLA, APA, Chicago,4or CSE/CBE style guide. A citation builder clears up questions writers often have about citing resources appropriately by doing the thinking for them. Individuals indicate their choice of style guide and then simply type in the key information for a book, chapter, website, or a host of other source types, and the program generates a properly formatted citation for them.
