BibMe, from Chegg, is a free citation creator on the web, similar to EasyBib. Unlike EasyBib, Bibme allows free citations for most major citation styles such as MLA, APA, Chicago and more. You can add citations to a bibliography, which you can export directly to Word, all free. However, if you would like to save and manage your citations over a period of time, you must register and create a paid account.
One the bibme home page, it's easy to get started. Simply select the citation style you are using...
and then add the title of the work you are trying to cite in the search box:
If the correct work is listed, click the 'Select' button to the right of the item and it will automatically populate the citation form with as much information as it can pull in.
PLEASE NOTE that you may still need to enter in missing data to complete the citation.
If the correct work is not listed in the results, then you can enter the work manually. Select the type of work you are trying to cite and click on the 'Manual Entry Mode' link underneath the search box. Depending on the type of source you're citing, you will be brought to the appropriate form. Below are some pictures of sample forms:
| Journal Article | Book | Website |
|---|---|---|

Once you are done, click the "Create Citation" button to create the formal citation:
From this page, you can select "Add another citation to your bibliography" to add additional works, or, when you're done, select "Download to Word" to download your entire bibliography directly to your Word document.
