How it works
Paste an identifier
Drop in a DOI, PubMed ID, ISBN, or web address — or type the details in manually.
We fetch the details
We pull verified metadata from Crossref, PubMed, and Open Library so you don’t retype it.
Copy your citation
Get the reference and in-text citation in your style, then copy or export to Word, BibTeX, or RIS.
Every style your course requires
Purpose-built generators for the formats students actually get assigned — not just APA and MLA.

Trusted by students and researchers
“My program switched us from APA to AMA mid-semester. I added my sources once and flipped the whole reference list to AMA in a click — saved me a whole evening of reformatting.”
“The DOI lookup pulls clean IEEE references and I export straight to BibTeX for my thesis. It just gets the author lists and journal abbreviations right.”
“Chicago footnotes used to take me forever. Paste the source, pick Chicago notes, done — and no ads shoving a subscription in my face.”
“I cite a lot of PubMed articles. Pasting the PMID and getting a perfect Vancouver reference in two seconds is exactly what I needed.”
“Free, no login, and the citations actually match what my professor expects. I recommend it to my whole cohort.”
“The ACS generator handles the weird journal abbreviations I always got wrong. Copy, paste into my lab report, move on.”
