EasyBib is a great (and free) tool to help you construct a proper citation. No more will you have to worry about commas, colons, parenthesis, italics, etc. - EasyBib will do it all for you!
What you DO have to worry about is knowing how to fill in those boxes (for tips on doing this more accurately, click here). Check out the format guides below to make sure your EasyBib citations are coming out correctly. |
EasyBib: the bibliography maker. |
Ever wonder why some teachers ask for a "Works Cited" while others ask for a "Bibliography" or even an "Annotated Bibliography"? Here's the difference:
- an alphabetical list of everything you used while researching and preparing a paper or project. It
contains all of the works that you actually “used” in your paper or presentation, as well as a list of other books or
sources you read but didn't directly use in your project.
- looks like a bibliography but includes brief summaries underneath each citation
that describe what that source is about, why it is reliable, who the author is, and/or why it is useful for your project.

- lists only works actually “used” in your paper or presentation. If your research project does not
use a source, then it should not be in your works cited page.
1. Arrange citation entries ALPHABETICALLY by the first word in the citation (ignore "The," "A," or "An).
2. The first line of each citation starts at the LEFT margin; the second and any succeeding lines are indented FIVE spaces.
3. Put those periods, commas, colons, etc. in the right spots! Punctuation counts!
4. DO NOT number your sources.
