How does the Scribbr APA Citation Checker work?

The Scribbr APA Citation Checker is a powerful tool designed to assist you in creating accurate APA-style citations for your academic work. Here’s how it works:

1. Upload your document: Click the orange ‘Upload’ button to upload your document to be automatically transferred to the APA Citation Checker site.

2. Select your reference list: Make sure to select the pages that cover your reference list.

3. Open your Citation Checker report: After you’ve completed the payment, you will be able to open your Citation Check report via the link you received in your email. 📧

4. Start revising: Open your report, and you will see that the tool shows you the most common ‘issues’ (in red) but also the correct references (in green). We suggest keeping your editable document next to the tool, so you can make changes directly in your document and mark each issue as ‘solved’ as you go.

5. Re-upload your document: Once you’ve fixed all issues, you can upload a new version of your document as many times as you want.

Using the Scribbr APA Citation Checker can save you time and ensure the accuracy and consistency of your APA citations and references, thereby improving the overall quality of your academic writing.
