MyBib
What it is
MyBib creates formatted citations, bibliographies, and works cited for academic assignments and papers. It can build references for books, journals, websites, and videos from a title or identifier such as a URL or ISBN. The maker says it supports over 9,000 citation styles, including APA, Chicago, Harvard, and MLA. Users can arrange projects in nested folders and make in-text citations that combine sources and include a page, chapter, or section locator. Bibliographies can be downloaded to Word or Google Docs, imported into Zotero or Mendeley, or exported as BibTeX and JSON. MyBib is available on the web and as free extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. The free plan works without an account and has no project or citation limit; work is stored on the user’s device by default. MyBib Plus costs $2 per month, paid annually at $24 per year, and adds server storage and access across devices. MyBib says it mostly remains usable without internet access.
