Quick answer
The FiftyGPT APA Reference Checker reviews your reference list against common APA 7 formatting rules — author order, year placement, title case, and punctuation — and flags entries that look off. Paste your references to catch formatting slips before you submit.
How to use the APA Reference Checker
- Paste your reference list, one reference per line.
- Select Check APA References.
- Review the flags — missing years, capitalisation, punctuation, or ordering issues.
- Fix each flagged entry against APA 7 rules and re-check.
What it does not do
This checker reviews formatting patterns; it cannot verify that a source exists or that the details are correct — that responsibility is yours. It catches structural APA slips such as a missing italicised title, a misplaced year, or inconsistent author formatting, not factual accuracy.
