What Is Cite This For Me's Citation Generator?
Cite This For Me’s open-access generator is an automated citation machine that turns any
of your sources into citations in just a click. Using a citation generator helps students to
integrate referencing into their research and writing routine; turning a time-consuming
ordeal into a simple task.
A citation machine is essentially a works cited generator that accesses information from
across the web, drawing the relevant information into a fully-formatted bibliography that
clearly presents all of the sources that have contributed to your work.
If you don’t know how to cite correctly, or have a fast-approaching deadline, Cite This
For Me’s accurate and intuitive citation machine will lend you the confidence to realise
your full academic potential. In order to get a grade that reflects all your hard work, your
citations must be accurate and complete. Using a citation maker to create your references
not only saves you time but also ensures that you don’t lose valuable marks on your
assignment.
Not sure how to format your citations, what citations are, or just want to find out more
about Cite This For Me’s citation machine? This guide outlines everything you need to
know to equip yourself with the know-how and confidence to research and cite a wide
range of diverse sources in your work.
Why Do I Need To Cite?
Simply put, referencing is the citing of sources used in essays, articles, research,
conferences etc. When another source contributes to your work, you have to give the
original owner the appropriate credit. After all, you wouldn’t steal someone else’s
possessions so why would you steal their ideas?
Any factual material or ideas you take from another source must be acknowledged in a
reference, unless it is common knowledge (e.g. President Kennedy was killed in 1963).
Failing to credit all of your sources, even when you’ve paraphrased or completely
reworded the information, is plagiarism. Plagiarizing will result in disciplinary action,
which can range from losing precious points on your assignment to expulsion from your
university.
What’s more, attributing your research infuses credibility and authority into your work,
both by supporting your own ideas and by demonstrating the breadth of your research.
For many students, crediting sources can be a confusing and tedious process, but it’s a
surefire way to improve the quality of your work so it’s essential to get it right. Luckily
for you, using Cite This For Me’s citation machine makes creating accurate references
easier than ever, leaving more time for you to excel in your studies.
In summary, the referencing process serves three main functions:
To validate the statements and conclusions in your work by providing directions to
other sound sources that support and verify them.
To help your readers locate, read and check your sources, as well as establishing
their contribution to your work.
To give credit to the original author and hence avoid committing intellectual
property theft (known as ‘plagiarism’ in academia).
