How to get an accurate citation
- Use the DOI for journal articles: the data comes straight from CrossRef, so authors, year and pages are exact.
- For books, paste the 10 or 13 digit ISBN from the copyright page or back cover.
- For websites and news, paste the full link. If a site blocks reading, the tool tells you so you can add the author yourself.
- Copying keeps the italics, so you can paste straight into Word or Google Docs.
