researchers as they need to know the rules for citing

style. On the basis of above discussion it can be stated
that the features of online citation tools are very bright
since they provide automatic reference linking, flexibility
in bibliographic styles, creating easy bibliography, and
solving research problems. In this environment, these
resources open up many exciting opportunities and have already brought revolutionary transitions in research work
