Powered by Shy Editor

Your bibliography is empty.

To add a source, paste or type its url, isbn, doi, pmid, arxiv id, or title into the search box above, cite anything.

ShyBib helps you build a bibliography instantly from any computer or device, without creating an account or installing any software. It’s brought to you by the team behind Shy Editor , the powerful intelligent writing environment recommended by thousands of students worldwide, so you can trust it to help you seamlessly add sources and produce perfect bibliographies. If you need to reuse sources across multiple projects or require a tool to write your project from start to finish, we recommend using Shy Editor instead.

Adding a bibliography entry

Simply find what you’re looking for in another browser tab and copy the page URL to the ShyBib search bar. ShyBib can automatically pull in data from newspaper and magazine articles, library catalogs, journal articles, sites like Amazon and Google Books, and much more. You can also paste or type in an ISBN, DOI, PMID, or arXiv ID, or you can search by title.

Style selection

Format your bibliography using APA, MLA, Chicago/Turabian, Harvard, or IEEE.

Manual entry

If automatic import doesn’t find what you’re looking for or you’re entering something without a URL or identifier, you can enter the reference information by hand.

Copy Citation / Note

As you’re writing, you can quickly generate parenthetical citations or footnotes /endnotes to paste into your document without typing names or dates by hand.

Bibliography title

To rename your bibliography, just click its title. A title can be useful if you’re switching between multiple projects or sharing a bibliography with others.

When you’re done, you can copy a formatted bibliography to the clipboard and paste it into your document. You can also export to a RIS, CSL JSON or BibTeX file to import into a reference manager or into your Shy Editor project.

Editing an item

You might need to add or change a few fields after adding an item. Click on a bibliography entry or on the Edit icon to make manual changes.

ShyBib automatically saves your bibliography to your browser’s local storage — you can close the page and return to it anytime. (If you’re using private/incognito mode in your browser, your bibliography will be cleared when you close the window.)

Deleting items

Click the Remove icon under the bibliography entry to delete it. To start a new bibliography, click Delete Bibliography to remove all entries.

Free MLA Citation Generator

Generate accurate citations in MLA format automatically, with MyBib!

😕 What is an MLA Citation Generator?

An MLA citation generator is a software tool designed to automatically create academic citations in the Modern Language Association (MLA) citation format. The generator will take information such as document titles, author, and URLs as in input, and output fully formatted citations that can be inserted into the Works Cited page of an MLA-compliant academic paper.

The citations on a Works Cited page show the external sources that were used to write the main body of the academic paper, either directly as references and quotes, or indirectly as ideas.

👩‍🎓 Who uses an MLA Citation Generator?

MLA style is most often used by middle school and high school students in preparation for transition to college and further education. Ironically, MLA style is not actually used all that often beyond middle and high school, with APA (American Psychological Association) style being the favored style at colleges across the country.

It is also important at this level to learn why it's critical to cite sources, not just how to cite them.

🙌 Why should I use a Citation Generator?

Writing citations manually is time consuming and error prone. Automating this process with a citation generator is easy, straightforward, and gives accurate results. It's also easier to keep citations organized and in the correct order.

The Works Cited page contributes to the overall grade of a paper, so it is important to produce accurately formatted citations that follow the guidelines in the official MLA Handbook .

⚙️ How do I use MyBib's MLA Citation Generator?

It's super easy to create MLA style citations with our MLA Citation Generator. Scroll back up to the generator at the top of the page and select the type of source you're citing. Books, journal articles, and webpages are all examples of the types of sources our generator can cite automatically. Then either search for the source, or enter the details manually in the citation form.

The generator will produce a formatted MLA citation that can be copied and pasted directly into your document, or saved to MyBib as part of your overall Works Cited page (which can be downloaded fully later!).

MyBib supports the following for MLA style:

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .

Citation Basics

The purpose of following a specific style for your citations is to help the reader identify and find your outside sources easily. Each part of the citation contains important information about the source, and the formatting provides a standard way to quickly communicate that information to the reader.

ASA (American Sociological Association) style is recommended for students and researchers writing in the field of sociology.

For each outside source included in a paper, there should be a brief citation in the paper, which corresponds to a complete citation in the list of references at the bottom of the paper.

In-Text Citations

• Two Authors
• Three Authors
• More than Three Authors

Every time you quote, paraphrase, or summarize information from an outside source, you must provide an in-text citation. It points your reader to the source's full citation in your list of references at the end of your paper.

For any type of resource (article, book, website, etc), a basic in-text citation includes the author's name and the publication year (example: Smith 2013). 

When directly quoting a source or paraphrasing a specific passage, you also include a page number (example: Smith 2013:26). 

• You can put the name and year in parenthesis at the end of the information:

Unabomber Ted Kaczynski represents a dichotomy between self-reliance and freedom (Rousseau 2014).

• Or you can use the author's name in the text, also called a signal phrase:

Rousseau (2015) explained how Ted Kaczynski represents a common dichotomy in sociology.

Remember, the name you use in your in-text citation should match the name you use in your full citation in the list of references!

For one author, include the author's last name, and year of publication.

For a direct quote or information from a specific part of a source, place a colon immediately after the year, followed by the page number, with no spaces. 

If the citation falls at the end of the sentence, put the period after the closing parenthesis.

"Freedom only has meaning when one becomes conscious of the idea of freedom" (Rousseau 2014:11). Rousseau (2014:11) points out that a person must understand the idea of freedom to truly appreciate it.

For a work that has two authors, include both of the authors' last names, with the word "and" between them, followed by the year of publication.

For a direct quote or information from a specific page of a source, place a colon immediately after the year, followed by the page number, with no spaces. 

"Family functioning among single-biological-mother households does not respond to increasing levels of neighborhood cohesion in the same way that it does for married and cohabiting two-biological-parent households" (Freistadt and  Strohschein 2013:954). Freistadt and Strohschein (2013:954) found that families with single mothers benefited less from supportive neighbors than traditional two-parent families.

For a work with three authors, include all three authors the first time the work is cited. If you cite the work again, you can include only the first author's last name, followed by the phrase "et al.", then include the year of publication.

" While wage differences naturally occur in a capitalistic system, massive differences provoke social unrest and the rise of demigods advocating collectivist solutions "  (Muczyk, Nance, and Coccari 2009:3 ). Muczyk et al. (2009:14)  believe that education is not the only way to decrease wage disparity.

For a work with more than three authors, include only the first author's last name, followed by the phrase "et al.", then include the year of publication.

"Employment and work demands appear to contribute to parents’ decreased time to attend to their own nutrition as well as that of their families" (Bauer et al. 2012:503 ). Bauer et al. (2012:503) found that parents' work schedules can have a negative impact on the entire family's nutrition.

Use the organization responsible for the content as the author if no individual can be identified.

According to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (2017) , acupuncture may be useful in treating symptoms related to MS, such as pain and numbness. Acupuncture may be effective in treating symptoms related to MS, such as pain and numbness (National Multiple Sclerosis Society 2017) .

• Film or Documentary
• Article from a Database

The list of references is a list of all of the resources you used in your research paper or assignment, organized alphabetically by author .

The list is double-spaced with a hanging indent , meaning that, for a citation on more than one line, each line after the first is indented 1/4" from the left margin. Find the paragraph settings, choose the indentation style of hanging, and set it to 1/4". In Word, you'll click the little icon in the lower right corner of the "Paragraph" section of the main toolbar.

The first part of your in-text citation (almost always the author) should match the first part of your full citation in the list of references.

There are guidelines for how to cite different numbers and types of authors, and how to cite different formats of information (article, book, website, etc.). You will have to combine these guidelines for each citation.

Use the author's last name, followed by first name and middle initials, if present.

Rousseau, Nathan.

Two or More Authors

List all authors. The first author is listed last name, first name, but all other authors are listed in normal order. Separate each with a comma, and put "and" before the last author.

Citing a web page (or a short work from a website) can be tricky. Look carefully for the name of an author, or use the organization as the author if you cannot find a name. The organization is usually the same for the publisher, but sometimes there is a larger organization. To find the place of publication, you may need to find the "About Us" or "Contact Us" link to find where the company is located.
