Citation and Reference tools:
MyBib- a free bibliography and citation generator that makes accurate citations for you to copy straight into your academic assignments and papers. There are tools that already do this, but they've stagnated, become infested with ads, and charge you for features that should be free (especially for students).
Citation Machine- helps students and professionals properly credit the information that they use. Cite sources in APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, and Harvard formats..
