Citation

Citation is a free citation generator and citation manager built for students, researchers and writers who need their sources to stay connected to the document they are writing.

Most people start with the citation generator. You paste a URL, DOI or ISBN, or search for a title, and Citation finds the source, shows you the record it found, and formats the reference in the style you need. APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, AMA and ACS are all supported, and you can switch styles at any time without rebuilding the list by hand.

The part that makes Citation different is what happens next. Instead of keeping sources in one tab and the draft in another, Citation puts your saved sources beside the writing area. When you cite something, the reference is linked to the record it came from, so updating a saved source or changing the citation style reformats every linked citation in the document.

Citation also includes an AI writing assistant, but it is deliberately review-first. You ask for a focused revision, Citation proposes a version, and you compare it against your original and decide which wording to keep. Nothing is replaced silently. Because the assistant works with raft and your saved sources in the same workspace, suggestions stay grounded in the material you actually collected rather than in generic phrasing.

There is a checking side as well. Citation lets you review saved citation links and metadata, look at writing feedback, and follow a passage to matching text in accessible public web sources so you can return to the original publication and judge the evidence yourself. It is a way to see where a claim came from, not a verdict machine.

For longer projects Citation tracks the shape of the work: word count, number of sources and estimated reading time, so you can see the paper growing. Version history lets you preview an earlier draft, compare it with the current one and restore it if an earlier approach worked better.

When the paper is ready you can invite a reviewer to view or edit the document, export to DOCX, PDF or TXT, and download your reference data as BibTeX or RIS for another research tool. One document, one bibliography, ready to hand over.
