This is a great tool to help students avoid plagiarism.

How I Use It

Anytime students are using sources in their own writing, I ask them to use EasyBib to create an annotated bibliography. Sometimes students rely too heavily on web sources and depend on pasting the URL into the indicated field without checking to make sure the citation was done correctly. Often, there will be unnecessary punctuation marks in the citation that students need to delete on their own. If students are diligent, however, and look at the citations before publishing, EasyBib does a pretty good job.
