Citation Generator
A real bibliography workspace — not a one-off citation box.
Most citation generators are throwaway forms: you type a DOI, you get a string, you copy it to your paper, you close the tab. This is a workspace — multi-source lookup, editable previews, 1000+ styles you can swap instantly, and a saved library you can reopen weeks later.
1. Find
Five ways to add a citation
Paste a DOI or ISBN, drop in a PDF (Pro), search by keyword in CrossRef, or type fields manually. Every fetch lands in an editable preview modal so you can fix typos before committing.
Clear writing starts with a quiet workspace.
Paste a draft, set a goal, and keep editing while the numbers update beside you.
2. Style
1000+ styles, one searchable picker
We mirror the official CSL repository: APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, Vancouver, Turabian, BMJ, Pensoft, Deutsche Zitierweise, OSCOLA — anything published in the last 20 years. Free tier covers the top 30; Pro unlocks the rest.

3. Build
Saved library, multiple exports
Every bibliography saves as a document — reopen weeks later with full state. Export to BibTeX (LaTeX), RIS (Zotero/EndNote), Word, or plain text. Reorder cards, add notes, swap styles instantly.

AI-assisted, not AI-only
Free APIs (CrossRef, Google Books, OpenLibrary) do the heavy lifting. AI only fires when a PDF lacks metadata — keeps costs near-zero and accuracy high.
Editable previews
Every fetched citation lands in a preview modal where you fix capitalization, author order, missing pages. The tool never invents fields it can't find.
Pro unlocks the long tail
Free: 20 DOI/ISBN lookups + 5 searches + top 30 styles + 50 citations/bib. Pro: unlimited lookups + PDF + 1000+ styles + BibTeX/RIS + 500 citations/bib.
