Citation Generator Canada
What it is
Citation Generator Canada is a free web tool for creating academic citations and collecting sources in a list. Users can look up metadata with a DOI, ISBN, URL, or title, or enter citation details manually. Its guide covers APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, Vancouver, IEEE, Turabian, AMA, and ASA, with examples for citing websites, books, articles, and other source types. A showcase of example papers illustrates in-text citations, footnotes, and reference or works cited pages. When sources are ready, users can copy all references or export them to DOCX or TXT. The site describes TXT export as plain text using APA 7th style for all references. The tool is aimed at academics, writers, and researchers. Its product pages describe manual entry, copying, and file export, and do not name document integrations. The contact form accepts suggestions, bug reports, and feedback; the contact page says the tool is built in Canada. The Free plan costs nothing.
