KnightCite is a web based citation generator hosted by the Calvin University Hekman Library that formats bibliographic information per academic standards for use in research papers and scholarly works.
[1] It has become a popular tool among high school and college students seeking help formatting bibliographies and citations.
Glenn Remelts, library director at Calvin University said, "This is just our gift to the struggling students who've probably spent more time formatting their bibliographies than writing their papers.
Users are prompted to enter information obtained from an academic source, and the engine automatically delivers the bibliographic reference in the requested format.
"It gets rid of the need to memorize tedious syntactical styles that aren't of any educational benefit in-and-of-themselves," according to the developer.
