Click the Add citation source button. Click on the Cite or Insert bibliography button. To get started, open the desired document in Google Docs and click on the Tools > Citations option.

Students and teachers may be glad that Google Docs now includes a citation tool, but professional researchers might seek more robust citation management options.

If Google Docs is not your primary work platform, you can expand your search for citation and bibliography apps to include other methods, browsers, file types, etc.
