CiteMe: Citation Generator, Reference Checker by CiteMe

CiteMe — Citation Generator & Reference Checker

Cite real sources in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, ABNT and 60 curated styles, and check a reference list for fake, broken or AI-hallucinated citations, without leaving the page you are reading.

CHECK REFERENCES ON ANY PAGE

Select a bibliography or reference list on any web page, right-click and choose "Check these references with CiteMe". CiteMe looks each reference up in scholarly databases (OpenAlex, Crossref, PubMed and more) and flags the ones it can't find or whose authors, year or title don't match: the usual signs of a fabricated citation, including ones invented by AI chatbots.

CITE IN ONE CLICK

• Search 250M+ papers, books and theses by title, author, keyword, DOI or ISBN
• Copy the full reference or the in-text citation for your bibliography, works cited page or reference list
• On an article page, CiteMe spots the DOI and offers a one-click citation
• Right-click and pick "Cite this page with CiteMe" to cite the web page or link you are on
• Export to BibTeX or RIS for Zotero, Mendeley and EndNote
• Save citations to your free CiteMe library

60 CURATED CITATION STYLES

APA 7th, MLA 9th, Chicago (author-date and notes), Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, AMA, ABNT (NBR 6023), Turabian, Nature, Science, Bluebook, OSCOLA, ISO 690 and more.
