EasyBib.com Reviews & Product Details

Easy Bib is a very easy to use website. It elevates quite a bit of time and allows students to cite their sources correctly according to the required format. Students are still required to put in specific information, so they are still learning about citing their sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The website can be a bit distracting. There are often times quite a few advertisements, as this is a free site. The screen can have a lot going on, but the students only need to be using a small portion of the screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It may just be me, but I've hated citations since the first essay I had to write in college. APA, MLA, in-text and 'Works Cited'/'Bibliography' pages, they can be infuriating, confusing, time-consuming, and grade-determining. Fortunately for the citation-inept among us, Easybib create your citations for you. Website data can be automatically retrieved for the most part, and you may need to manually enter it in for some other media, but these will provide you with the proper format and even help you make the page itself.

It's not perfect. Sometimes I'll compare double check the citation with as The Purdue Online Writing Lab (OWL) to ensure all the citation meets the criteria. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EasyBib is truly easy to use. I've never used a citation machine that is so easy and intuitive. Simply enter the link of the content you wish to cite and wah-la- EasyBib comes to the rescue. It also helps that it is a free resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Without going into too much detail, there are a few limitations to EasyBib. The site is laced with advertisements if you don't upgrade to the paid version - which is how they pay to keep the site updated, hosted, etc. The free trial is very short (2 days) and there are limits on which types of citations you can perform for free (MLA, APA, Chicago, etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to drop a website into a field and come up with a citation is an excellent time saver for students. That you can report sources is also a definite boon for east bib. Free account to save your citations and the citation page formatted in alphabetical order is excellent as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The updates to MLA are slow. The cite has too many options, and citations must be reviewed. Also you can't sign in with Facebook. I have two accounts but I can't see why I would want to keep an account as opposed to just using it for free. Sidebar ads are distracting and not helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Makes the citation process less daunting for large projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Must generally do one at a time, web cites can be trickier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can provide a tool to my students to create an accurate bibliography. As an English teacher, I do not always feel I need my students to memorize certain rules when those rules can be easily accessed via online programs like Easy Bib. As an educator, it is my job to teach students how to be efficient and accurate. Teaching a tool like Easy Bib meets those requirements in my eyes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have yet to find a feature I dislike about Easy Bib; students can copy/paste a final works cited page into their documents in an accurate and simple manner. If that is a hurdle for a student, then perhaps using an online program is not the best scenario for that student in the first place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EasyBib makes citing work so much easier for students. Instead of having to learn the skills of sourcing books, online sites, movies, etc., it's all in one place. Depending on which format is required for their class, they may have to spend a large amount of time looking up referencing guides. Instead EasyBib has it all in one place.

The website can be quite distracting due to all of the advertisements, however it is a free service so that is understandable. The site could be more welcoming and include some more design elements, but that's not much of a complaint! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EasyBib is just that - it makes it easy to create a single citation for a bibliography. You can select different formats, and it can usually generate a full reference from an ISBN number or other small piece of information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

EasyBib does not have as much versatility as a reference management system, such as Zotero or RefWorks. It can still be time consuming to generate each reference in EasyBib, whereas Zotero or RefWorks can produce a full list of references in alphabetical order.

I love that you can easily add your citation to a document. No copying, no re-writing, so no typos! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing I dislike about EasyBib. It's such a simple sight to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that this is a free resource and that it does what it says it does, makes bibliographys. It's nice to be able to keep track of academic resources and use on papers and writing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The website used to work and function a lot better before the ads overloaded the site. I feel like it runs a lot slower and the ads frequently make the site crash. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
