CiteMe
What it is
CiteMe is citation and reference software for students and researchers. Enter a DOI, ISBN, URL, PubMed ID, or paper title to retrieve source details and format them in styles such as APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, Vancouver, and IEEE. The maker also lists access to 10,000+ CSL styles for specialized formats. Its Reference Checker compares a reference with returned records and flags differences in DOI, year, or title for review. Sources can be added from bulk identifiers, PDFs, pasted bibliographies, Lattes CV publications, manual entries, and BibTeX or RIS files. CiteMe says it searches indexes including OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, CrossRef, PubMed, Europe PMC, Google Books, BASE, HAL, and arXiv. Access is available through the web, Chrome and Firefox extensions, a Word add-in, Google Docs, a ChatGPT app, and an API with 40+ endpoints. The free plan includes 60+ styles and usage limits for projects, library saves, PDF conversions, and reference checks. Thesis Pass costs $8.99 once for 30 days of Pro; Pro’s monthly price is not displayed.
