Citation Generators

The student is responsible for providing MLA citations that meet the requirements of Lansdale School of Business. All online generators issue disclaimers as to their accuracy. You may use the citations generated as a basis for your MLA citation, but you must make the necessary revisions. Keep in mind the EBSCOhost and CQ Researcher databases provide MLA citations.

 

BibMe is a free citation generator developed at Carnegie Mellon University that produces citations and bibliographies in APA, MLA, Chicago and Turabian styles. It has some features not found in other free citation generators, such as autofill and the ability to switch between citation styles.
