Citation & Bibliography Generator
Description:
The Citation & Bibliography Generator is a web-based tool that allows students, researchers, and writers to easily create accurate citations and bibliographies in various formats such as APA, MLA, Chicago, and Harvard.
The backend (PHP, Java, or Node.js) processes user inputs like author name, title, publisher, publication date, and source type (book, journal, website, etc.), then formats them according to the selected citation style. The frontend (HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript) provides a clean, interactive form where users can enter details, preview the formatted citation, and compile multiple entries into a final bibliography.
Extra features may include automatic citation generation from a URL or ISBN, saving bibliographies for future use, and exporting in formats like Word, PDF, or plain text.
Key Features:
-
Supports multiple citation styles (APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, etc.).
-
Form-based and auto-generation (via URL or ISBN lookup).
-
Multiple entry compilation into a single bibliography.
-
Export citations as Word, PDF, or text.

User account for saving citation lists.
Example Use Case:
A university student writing a research paper enters book and website details into the platform, selects APA style, and instantly gets correctly formatted citations. They export the list as a PDF to attach to their project.
