Citation generators 

These can help you create references for the pieces of information you've used in an assignment. Some generators ask you to fill in the relevant fields about a particular source (article title, journal name, page numbers, etc.) and then format that info into a reference. Others will ask you to search for the piece of information (by isbn, DOI, title, authors, etc.) and then build the reference using the result found.
