You just enter the data and let the computer format it. Isn't that easy? Actually, I think it is a little bit slower in some ways than just doing it yourself. It also makes some small mistakes sometimes. Give it a try anyway if you want to check your References or get used to the style.
Below is more about MLA (Modern Language Association) and APA (American Psychological Association) citation styles.
