Questions people actually ask
Is this actually free?
Yes. All formats, all source types, no daily limits. We make money from ads on the page. You get free citations. Everyone wins.
Do I need to sign up?
Nope. No account, no email, no credit card. Just open the page and start citing. We do not even have a signup button on purpose.
How accurate are the citations?
Very accurate for DOIs and ISBNs because those pull directly from academic databases. URLs depend on how well the webpage is structured. Double check anything important before submitting.
Why did you build this?
EasyBib went behind a paywall. CitationMachine got annoying. MyBib is fine but we thought we could make something cleaner. So we did.
