Obsessed <3

This is such a helpful tool! I would even say that it is an even better version of my old go-to tool that no longer exists. I am SO GRATEFUL that it is so easy to use and has the ability to find ~most~ of the resources I am trying to cite. One of the BEST features is having the ability to create different lists with their own titles--it has been so helpful for my ADHD needs while working through my Masters program! Thank you also for figuring out a way to choose font and size and making it actually paste into documents SO EASILY and ready to go!!! If I were to make two requests for improvement: First would be that it would just keep me logged in, especially since I have literally no private nor financial information attached. The site is, in my opinion, overcommitted to timing out an account user. Even in one writing session, I will return to the page with my next reference and it looks as though the page has a bug or an error. To fix this I have to take what I feel are unnecessary steps to refresh the page and go through the login process again even when I feel like I really was not gone for very long. The second request is that there be a way to autogenerate more obscure resources (I am admittedly biased, but prioritizing this being available in APA 7th ed. would be the best! haha). And I have also noticed that when there's a reference that the site cannot find, the manual option will ask for information that is not typically needed for APA, and the final resulting citation does not typically appear to maintain the chosen formatting style. So I suppose that is more like 2.5 requests since the last one isn't too bothersome. Anyway, I'm just overall ridiculously grateful I found Scribbr so early on in my graduate pursuits! I highly recommend it for anyone who needs to move efficiently through their research and delivery of information.

Amazing! Grade boost from an "C" to an 'A'

Amazing! This software could have saved many college students from dropping out 10 years ago. Also, I used to use this website before the copy and paste feature 2016 or so. The new update is outstanding! My Bibliographies in APA format are perfect!

Life Made Easier

Scribbr makes my life so much easier when I have to cite the text that I use. Having the MLA citation generator is really helpful. And saves my time :)

A must-have tool!

I use Scribbr for its citation generator, which is a fantastic, time saving tool. As a student, composing research essays is time consuming enough...but it's even more so if you have to go back and type in all of the resources you drew your information from. I love that you can choose from a variety of known citation styles. Often you can copy/paste a link into the citation generator, and it will automatically format the layout of the source using the format you choose. Even when I have to go in and edit, I love how the citation parts are further broken down so that you understand what is required, recommended or optional to include in citing sources. Thank you so much for creating such a helpful tool for students and professionals!
