APA Reference Generator
Paste your whole reference list and get it back in APA 7th edition in one go, or add one source at a time.
How this APA reference generator works
Paste your whole reference list, one reference per line, and press Format all references. It reads the authors, year, title, journal, volume and pages from each one and gives the list back in APA 7th edition, sorted A to Z. It reads Harvard lists too, so you can switch a whole list across in one go. Check each entry before you copy it, because anything missing from your original stays missing.
What does an APA 7 journal reference look like?
Surname, A., & Surname, B. (Year). Title of the article in sentence case. Journal Name, 12(3), 45-60. https://doi.org/…
What do supervisors mark wrong most in APA?
Full first names where APA wants initials, “and” between authors where APA wants &, every word of an article title in capitals, and a DOI written as doi: instead of a full link. The generator fixes all four.
Can it do Harvard or other styles?
Yes. Change the style at the top to Harvard, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, AMA, ACS, OSCOLA or Vancouver and the same list reformats.
