Editor World Citation Generator is a free web tool for generating citations from a DOI, URL, ISBN, or title. It offers APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago 17 (Author-Date), and Harvard styles, covering websites, books, journal articles, reports, theses, book chapters, YouTube videos, and other sources. Autocite retrieves metadata from Crossref, library catalogs, and the source page; users can edit every source field before adding a citation to a list. Lists can be copied or exported to Word or BibTeX, and the page also offers bibliography emailing. Generation, editing, copying, and export do not require an account, but permanently saving a list does. The company says APA 7 formatting follows official Citation Style Language rules and advises checking names, capitalization, and missing fields. Editor World also offers academic, journal, and dissertation editors who can format citations and references to a specified style. Its privacy policy says information submitted through the site may be retained indefinitely and handled in jurisdictions with different or less protective privacy laws. The policy describes safeguards but does not guarantee against unauthorized access, data loss, or other breaches.
Who it is for
The generator suits authors, academics, business professionals, and ESL writers who need citations in one of its four listed styles. People who want a citation list saved permanently need an Editor World account.
