In their own words
CitApp
CitApp helps students create formatted citations from links or DOIs and organize research sources on the web or through a Chrome extension. It supports websites, journal articles, books, PDFs, reports, Wikipedia, news, theses, and videos, retrieving metadata from CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv, and Google Books. Citation options include 17 built-in styles, more than 130 journal and university CSL styles, and custom styles. A Google Docs add-on inserts citations at the cursor and updates the reference list. The free plan imports Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote libraries and exports to Word, BibTeX, and RIS. The extension saves pages and PDFs, including files behind logins, to a project. Invite links let signed-in collaborators view and add sources. Academic Shield checks wording similarity, section fit, and citation support. Free includes unlimited in-app sources, 10 browser captures weekly, 30 Docs insertions weekly, and 10 Shield checks weekly. Pro costs SEK 99, paid once and removes weekly limits.
Cite This For Me
Cite This For Me creates formatted citations and bibliographies for students and researchers. Its generator supports Harvard, APA, MLA, Chicago, Vancouver and thousands of other styles, across more than 50 source types. For websites, journal articles and books, it can try to find source details using an author, URL or DOI, then produce an in-text citation and a full reference. The free citation generator is open access, while the Free account is limited to Harvard, includes ads and saves citations for seven days. A Chrome extension can cite the webpage currently open and add it to an online bibliography. Premium access includes more citation styles, Word downloads for bibliographies, a plagiarism checker and expert help. Papers uploaded for plagiarism checking are added to its database and used internally to improve results. The service launched in October 2010 and is powered by Chegg. It is available on Android, iOS, the web and as an extension.
