How it works

From a wall of text to a clean citation in four steps.

Install the extension once. Every citation after that is a right-click away.

01

Install the extension

One click from the Chrome Web Store. Works in Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, and Vivaldi.

02

Highlight the source

Select any block of text on the page: title, abstract, authors, publication info. Or just the title.

03

Right-click, "Generate Citation"

The AI parses authors, year, title, journal, DOI, and source type, then formats it for your chosen style.

04

Copy and paste

Reference list entry and in-text citation, ready to drop into Word, Google Docs, or LaTeX.

Source types

Six source types, one extension.

Whatever the source, the AI figures out the type and formats it correctly. No dropdown picking required.

Why it works

Built for students who'd rather read the paper than format it.

No keyword-stuffed prompts, no manual field-by-field entry. The AI does the parsing, you keep the agency.

AI-powered parsing

Smart extraction of authors, titles, dates, DOIs, journal names, volumes, and pages from messy text.

Auto-detected source type

Journal, book, website, newspaper, video, podcast. The AI figures it out so you don't have to.

Editable before saving

Review parsed fields, fix anything the AI got wrong, then generate. You stay in control of the final citation.

BibTeX and RIS export

One click to export to Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, or LaTeX. No manual reformatting of fields.

Right-click anywhere

Select text on any page, right-click "Generate Citation", and a fully formatted reference is on your clipboard.

Privacy by default

Selected text is sent to the parsing API and discarded. No tracking, no analytics, no cookies on third-party pages.

Four styles, one source

Switch styles without re-parsing.

The same source becomes APA, MLA, Harvard, or Chicago with a single tap. Useful when your professor changes their mind, your journal has its own house style, or your bibliography is split across courses.

FAQ

Questions students actually ask.

No. Install the extension and start citing. The 10/day free tier works without an account. Sign in only if you want to upgrade to Pro or sync your library across devices.
For standard journal articles, books, and news pages, accuracy is typically 90 to 95 percent on the first pass. The popup lets you review every parsed field and fix anything the AI got wrong before you copy the citation. For very obscure sources, the AI will flag fields it isn't sure about.

Selected text is sent to the parsing API to be turned into structured fields, then discarded. Nothing is stored unless you explicitly save the citation to your Pro library. No third-party analytics, no tracking pixels, no background reading of pages.
