In their own words
bibliott
bibliott is a web citation generator for students, researchers, and academics. Entering a URL, DOI, or ISBN produces formatted references in APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, Harvard, or Turabian style. Supported sources include books, journal articles, websites, newspaper and magazine articles, and encyclopedias. Bibliott gathers details from Crossref, OpenLibrary, or the source page, and can use OpenGraph and structured metadata when fields are missing. Exports include Word.docx, BibTeX.bib, JSON, and plain text, with bulk export for a reference list. The site also links to citation guides for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and Perplexity. Its “Free while we launch” plan costs nothing, allows 200 citations a month, includes every style, keeps the whole library, and requires no credit card. JavaScript is required in the browser. Bibliott says personal information is not sold, traded, or rented to third parties.
