APA Citation Generator | Editable APA citations, built for researchers

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 We built APA Citation Generator because we kept seeing the same problem: students and researchers spend hours building reference lists only to realize on submission day that something's wrong—a missing author, a DOI that doesn't match, or an inconsistent date. The typical workflow was broken. You paste a URL, get back a citation, and... hope it's right? We wanted something different. **What we built:** - Paste a URL, DOI, ISBN, or title → get an APA draft + in-text citation at the same time - See exactly what's missing (confidence score + missing fields) - Edit author names, dates, titles, publishers, URLs—anything—before saving - Build your full bibliography, reorder it, copy it all at once The key insight: citation generation doesn't need to be a black box. Make it editable, show the metadata, and let researchers fix problems before they compile the final list. **Who's using it:** - Master's students catching metadata issues before advisor review - Writing center tutors helping students align in-text citations with reference entries - Academic editors verifying sources before final delivery - Researchers assembling large bibliographies in one sitting The English MVP is especially strong for DOI and URL workflows. We're actively building out book, journal article, and other source type support based on user feedback. We'd love to hear if you have bibliography horror stories—those are our best product ideas. 😄 Try it: [link]
