I use Zotero with some AI plugins and it’s pretty neat. It kinda auto fills stuff but you gotta double check the output tho.
I just copy paste into Google Scholar then grab the citation. Not AI-based but fast and mostly correct for APA.
Been using a tool called CiteThisForMe, it’s straightforward and does APA fine for most stuff.
Guys, tried a few online but ended up confused with formatting errors. Anyone knows one that handles edge cases well? Like multiple authors or weird sources?
Hey, just a shoutout to anyone looking for fresh AI citation helpers, you can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools. Found some cool ones there.
If you're looking for something super simple, I just use an AI chat to generate citations, then tweak them. It’s kinda hit or miss tho.
I tried a few apps that say they do APA citation with AI but they were buggy or required subscriptions. Anyone found free reliable ones?
I feel like some AI tools make you lazy and then you miss important citation rules. Manual checking is still essential imo.
Anyone tried the citation feature within Microsoft Word recently? I heard it’s gotten smarter with AI.
AI tools helped me reduce the time on bibliography by at least half, which was a lifesaver on my last paper!
For those worried about correctness, I’d recommend always cross referencing with the official APA manual no matter the tool.
Does anyone know if there’s an AI tool that integrates with Google Docs for APA? That’d be a game changer.
