For your current events case (CEC) assignment you will need to create a running bibliography. You can choose to use a citation manager or simply keep a running references list of the resources you have gathered in APA format. The tools listed here will help you with whatever method you choose.
A citation generator is an online tool that automatically creates properly formatted citations for sources like books, articles, and websites in styles such as APA, MLA, or Chicago. By providing the URL, DOI or manually inputting basic details (e.g., author, title, date), the tool generates a citation ready to copy and paste into a bibliography or reference list. Citation generators are simple to use as they don't require any downloads or installation however, they are generally best used for smaller citation lists. The citation generators listed below are some of the best.
A citation manager is a software tool that helps you collect, organize, annotate and store references for research. It can automatically generate citations, create bibliographies, and often integrates with word processors to streamline the writing process. A citation manager generally requires a download and may have a small learning curve to get started. The versatility and features of a citation manager make it much more suited to longer reference lists and more complex research than a citation generator.
Be aware: citation tools are only as good as the metadata they have to work with! It's always a good idea to check your citations for accuracy and make corrections when needed. A style guide such can be useful tool for this.
