On the web, Google Docs includes the ability to add citations in three different formats for five different resource types. When active, the citation tool appears in a side panel with a series of relevant resource fields to be filled out. For students not familiar with academic citation standards, the built-in citation tool helps reinforce how important it is to be aware of the author, publication date, and publisher of works.
