What the APA Citations does
APA style is standard in psychology, education, nursing, business and the social sciences. The 7th edition changed several rules: up to 20 authors are listed, publisher locations are dropped, and DOIs are written as full links. Titles follow sentence case for articles and books but title case for journal names, which is easy to mix up.
Paste what you know about each source and this tool returns a correctly formatted reference plus the matching in-text citations in both parenthetical and narrative form. References are sorted alphabetically. If a year, page range or DOI is missing, the tool marks the gap instead of filling it with a guess, and lists what to look up.

Questions
Is this APA 7th edition?
Yes. It follows the 7th edition rules, including full DOI links and no publisher location for books.
Does it create in-text citations?
Yes. Each reference comes with a parenthetical citation, such as (Okafor & Lindqvist, 2021), and a narrative version such as Okafor and Lindqvist (2021).
What if a source has no date?
If you tell it the source has no date, it uses n.d. If the date is simply not in your details, it flags it as missing instead of assuming.
Can it find sources for me?
No. It formats sources you already have. It has no web access and does not search for or suggest sources.
