Citation Tools That Work

Citation tools automate the most tedious part of academic writing: formatting references. Instead of manually looking up rules for author order, date placement, italicization, and punctuation, a citation generator retrieves verified metadata from academic databases and applies the correct style rules instantly. This eliminates the most common source of citation errors and frees you to focus on your research and argumentation.

CiteMe's tools go beyond simple form-filling. When you enter a search query, DOI, ISBN, URL, or PubMed ID, the system searches real scholarly databases including OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, PubMed, CrossRef, and more. It pulls author names, publication dates, journal titles, volume numbers, and page ranges directly from publisher records, then formats them according to the style you select. The result is a citation you can trust, not one assembled from guesswork.

Beyond the main citation generator, CiteMe offers specialized converters for DOIs, ISBNs, and URLs, as well as tools for bulk citation generation, reference checking, and format conversion between BibTeX and RIS. All tools are free to use with no signup required, and they support over 10,000 citation styles to cover virtually any journal or institution requirement.
