In their own words
Citation[Z]
Citation[Z] is a web and browser-extension tool for generating citations and organizing bibliographies. It accepts website URLs, DOIs, ISBNs, or source details entered manually, and formats citations in APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, Harvard, and IEEE. Users can edit citation fields and switch results among supported styles. Its bibliography builder alphabetizes references and exports Word documents with hanging indents and double spacing; TXT export is also included in the free plan. A free account unlocks more than 10,000 styles, including Vancouver, AMA, ACS, Turabian, and CSE.
Free accounts include saved citations and projects, five styles, and bulk paste for up to five references. Premium raises the bulk-paste limit to 50 and adds Citation Finder, source recommendations, and paragraph analysis to flag claims that may need citations. Citation Finder searches scholarly works by topic and shows citation counts and open-access status. Premium costs $5 a month or $50 per year; Academic costs $20 a year and requires a verified.edu or equivalent academic email. The extension reads the active tab’s URL, title, and DOI metadata, and can submit all open HTTP(S) tab URLs when the user selects that action.
