What a solid bibliography template includes
- Stable fields: author, year, title, container/journal, publisher, pages, URL.
- One active style (APA, US Works Cited, or GB Harvard) so punctuation stays consistent.
- Alphabetical order and hanging indent on the finished list.
- A backup path (JSON export or printed PDF) in case browser data is cleared.
How to use this site as your template
- Open the builder and pick the style your course requires.
- Add each source once; edit from the entry controls if details change.
- Sort A–Z, then Copy bibliography into your document or Print / Save PDF.
- Export JSON if you want to restore the same draft later on another session.

Limits to remember
This is not Zotero, EndNote, or a full CSL engine. Unusual sources still need your style manual. The template is for coursework clarity, not publisher-ready metadata.
