This WordPress 2.x plugin generates academic citations in five common academic citation formats: AMA, APA, Chicago, Harvard, MLA. You can select which (or all) of these five formats to show, and in the order you choose.

The readme.txt file included in the package provides installation and configuration instructions. Please see the roadmap for a list of planned features.

This plugin grew out of a post at WRT: Writer Response Theory.

NOTE: This plugin works only with single-author posts. If you are using multiple authors on a single post, please let me know so I can try to accomodate you.
