Why citation details matter

Citation styles have specific rules for author names, publication dates, titles, publishers, URLs, page numbers, italics, and punctuation. Automated output should therefore be treated as a starting point rather than a substitute for checking the required style guide.

Before using the generated citation

Confirm the author's exact name and spelling.
Verify the publication date.
Check the source title against the original.
Confirm the citation style required by your institution or publisher.
Check whether a DOI or other persistent identifier should be used.
