There are a large number of basic referencing tools available on the Internet. These range from simple reference generators, to those which allow you to create bibliographies in a range of styles. These will be sufficient for most assignments. If you are doing a dissertation or project we recommend using a more fully featured reference manager such as EndNote or Mendeley.
These tools are free to use, you don't need to create an account and they are ad-free. Both allow you to search for items you want to cite and create references and in-text citations in a wide range of styles.
At the top of the reference list there is a pick-list of styles. The default is 'Harvard'. To change to another style click on the style name and search for the style you need.

Your references will be reformatted and re-ordered (if applicable) according to the rules of the selected style.
You can also change the font style and text size by clicking on the font name 'Times New Roman' at the top of the reference list.
