FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which citation style is most common at Canadian universities?
APA 7 is the single most common style across Canadian universities, driven by demand from nursing, education, psychology, and business programs.
Is Harvard the same as APA?
They look similar (author-date in parentheses) but format the reference list differently. Always check your professor's example, not just 'Harvard' generally.
Can I use a citation generator?
Tools like Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote are excellent. Free generators (CiteThisForMe, EasyBib) are okay for quick checks but always proof the output.
