CiteMe Review

Citation generator that converts DOIs, ISBNs, URLs, or titles into verified references in APA, MLA, Chicago, and 60+ styles — free, no signup.

Verdict

CiteMe differentiates itself from generic citation tools by sourcing metadata from real academic databases — OpenAlex (250M+ works), Semantic Scholar, CrossRef, and PubMed — eliminating the hallucinated references that plague AI-generated bibliographies. Supporting 60+ citation styles including APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago 17, IEEE, ABNT, and OSCOLA, it covers a broader range than most free alternatives. The no-signup, no-cost model makes it highly accessible, though it is narrowly scoped to citation formatting rather than broader research workflow management.
