“KnightCite”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The use of the tool is free of charge. It is provided as a public good by Calvin College. Glenn Remelts, library director at Calvin College said, "This is just our gift to the struggling students who've probably spent more time formatting their bibliographies than writing their papers. So if we can make life a little easier, that was our mission."^[5]^[6]

According to the developer, Justin Searls, “The purpose of citations is not to give kids another thing to learn. The purpose of citations is to avoid plagiarism of other people’s work, and in anything we can create or give students to help avoid plagiarizing other people’s work I think is for the better”^[7]

Function

This tool can generate citations and bibliographic information in three formats, MLA Style Manual, APA style and The Chicago Manual of Style. Users are prompted to enter information obtained from an academic source, and the engine automatically delivers the bibliographic reference in the requested format. "It gets rid of the need to memorize tedious syntactical styles that aren’t of any educational benefit in-and-of-themselves," according to the developer.^[8]

History

The web site was developed in 2004 by Calvin College student Justin Searls, who built the site as an employee of the school’s Hekman Library, at the request of a digital librarian there.^[8]^[9] {{As of|2005}} the programming required more than 25,000 lines of code.^[10]

As of September 2018, the site showed it generated more than 74 million citations.^[1]
