Academic writing can be a tough and challenging task, especially if you are new to the game. College freshmen, high school graduates, or those just starting research positions may find it difficult to adjust with the different writing style they must adopt in colleges, universities and research institutes.
Without going into specifics, think of academic writing as the type of papers and essays that must be written in college or those you see in research articles and journals. They are very well written and the common variable in it is that they are thoroughly cited. This is why it can be challenging because students are not normally used to citations before starting college.
A citation is one of the most important components in an academic essay. A citation in academic writing is the reference to the original source with information to find it through in text citations and full-length citations. The in text citations are the brief reference in the body of the text and the full-length citation is used in the reference list, works cited page, or bibliography that goes at the end of the paper.
You are a freshman in college and have been told to write an essay with references and citations in a particular format. That’s a lot to learn in a few days before the submission deadline. Even later in your senior year after being fully accustomed to citations, manually writing citations or knowing the citation guide formats is time consuming. That time is better spent on proofreading for those extra marks or for other things in student life. Using a citation generator just makes sense, particularly one which is easy to use and comes with a full citation format guide as well.

How exactly are citations and a citation generator useful, though? You know that plagiarism is when the words of someone else are stolen and used as if they were your own. That means no attribution has been made through an academic citation. That is why citations are immensely important in academic writing and when students properly cite their sources, they avoid plagiarism and the consequences of plagiarism.
Before creating a citation, find out from the professor or someone else who knows about which citation format you are meant to use in your writing. Different departments and subject fields may have their own preference. For example, the IEEE citation styles used commonly in Computer Sciences and APA format is often used in Arts and Humanities.
