Currently APA 7th and MLA 9th for common reference types (books, articles and web sources). Harvard and Chicago are planned; for unusual sources (interviews, datasets, legal documents) check your institution's style guide.
Enter authors comma-separated (e.g., 'Jane Smith, John Doe'). APA inverts to 'Last, I.' format; MLA inverts only the first author. For three+ authors, APA 7 uses 'et al.' after the first — consult the style guide for the exact rule.
No — URL is optional. Web sources need it; print books and journals don't. For academic articles, prefer the DOI when available, formatted as https://doi.org/…
