Description
Generates in-text citations and references from journal articles, books and webpages. Offline by default, with optional DOI lookup. Stop typing citations by hand. CiteGrab reads the page you're already on and builds a complete, correctly formatted reference in seconds — APA, MLA, Harvard, Chicago, IEEE, OSCOLA, or Vancouver, your choice, one click away. No account. No sign-up. No email address required. ⭐ WHY STUDENTS AND RESEARCHERS USE CITEGRAB Every citation tool promises "one-click citations." Here's what actually makes CiteGrab different: Seven citation styles, done right APA 7th edition, MLA 9th edition, Harvard, Chicago (Author-Date), IEEE, OSCOLA, and Vancouver. Each style follows its real formatting rules — not a generic template stretched across seven labels. Switch styles anytime and every citation updates instantly. Both halves of a citation, every time Most tools give you the reference list entry and leave you to figure out the in-text citation yourself. CiteGrab generates both together: the full reference AND the properly formatted in-text citation, ready to copy separately. DOI verification you can trust When a page has a DOI, CiteGrab automatically cross-checks it against CrossRef's public academic registry. Publisher pages sometimes mislabel their own metadata (the publisher's name showing up as the "author" is a real, documented problem) — CiteGrab catches and corrects this automatically, not just when a field is missing. Built-in quality checks Before you cite something, CiteGrab tells you if it's a preprint (not yet peer-reviewed), flags missing author or date information instead of letting you cite a gap, and shows you exactly what kind of source you're looking at. Organize by project Working on a dissertation with 40 sources? Group citations into named projects instead of hunting through browser history. Add, review, and copy your whole reference list at once. Full citation history Every source you've cited is saved locally so you can revisit or re-copy a citation without finding the page again. 🌙 Dark mode, because research happens at 2am. 🔒 WHAT CITEGRAB DOESN'T DO CiteGrab doesn't track your browsing, doesn't store your data on a remote server (there isn't one), and doesn't do anything with your computer or bandwidth you didn't ask for. The only network request CiteGrab ever makes is the optional DOI lookup to CrossRef's free public registry — nothing else, nothing hidden, and it's disclosed exactly like that. HOW IT WORKS 1️⃣ Open any journal article, book chapter, news page, or website 2️⃣ Click the CiteGrab icon 3️⃣ Your citation appears instantly — reference entry and in-text citation, in your chosen style 4️⃣ Copy and paste into your paper That's the whole workflow. No forms to fill out for most sources, no switching tabs, no separate account to manage. WHO THIS IS FOR -Anyone who researches. Anyone who writes. Anyone who has to give credit where it's due. -Anyone pulling an all-nighter on an essay with twelve tabs open and no time left to format a single reference by hand. -Anyone building a dissertation bibliography one source at a time, for months, and needing every single one to be right. -Anyone who has typed the same journal name six different ways across six different papers and wondered why this still isn't automatic. -Anyone who has ever lost a mark — not for the idea, not for the argument, but for a misplaced comma in a reference list. If that's you, CiteGrab was built for you. CiteGrab handles journal articles, book chapters, news articles, and general websites — reading the metadata already published on the page (meta tags, structured data, and academic citation tags used by publishers and Google Scholar) and, where a DOI is present, automatically verifying it against CrossRef. 📚 A free tool from www.SmallStudyTools.com — built for people who'd rather spend their time on the actual research, not the punctuation.
