I use Perplexity to gather sources for coursework, but its citations don’t always match the style required for the assignment. I’m wondering whether there’s a reliable way to request APA, MLA, or Chicago formatting, and how much checking is still needed for details like publication dates and author names.

What has worked for you with Perplexity citation styles? I’m interested in whether you set the format in the question itself or handle citations separately after reviewing the sources.
