Citations created by computers, whether by a "citation machine" or from a computer database, need to be double-checked in order to confirm the APA citation format is correct. Auto-citations are made up from elements that are available to the generator, and may not have all the parts, or may be generated based on faulty information Go ahead and grab that citation while you are online, but then be sure to double-check it against the APA 7th standards. Look for these common errors.
