What it is

CiteWise is a web platform combining citation creation, AI paper discovery, and source organization. It supports APA, MLA, Chicago, Vancouver, Harvard, IEEE, and other citation styles. Users can paste a DOI, URL, or ISBN to retrieve metadata such as authors, title, journal, year, and volume. Plain-language AI search finds academic papers, while a pasted DOI or URL can generate summaries covering findings, methodology, and metadata. My Library provides project folders, full-text search, and filters across saved papers. Bibliographies export as TXT, BibTeX, or RIS for Word, LaTeX, Overleaf, Zotero, Mendeley, and other reference managers. The free browser tier works without sign-up; an account is needed to preserve a library across sessions and use advanced features. Paid plans are Student at €5 a month, Professional at €10 a month, and Expert at €20 a month. Prices exclude VAT, calculated at checkout by location. EU storage, encryption, and GDPR compliance are stated.
