About ScholarCite
Advanced citation generation for specialized academic disciplines
Our Mission
ScholarCite is built specifically for researchers, students, and professionals working in specialized academic fields that require precise citation formats beyond the common APA, MLA, or Chicago styles.
We focus on citation formats that are often underserved by generic citation tools: IEEE for engineering, AMA and Vancouver for medicine, Bluebook for law, CSE for life sciences, ACS for chemistry, and Harvard for international academic work.
Keep your supporting documents polished with CiteWise and sharpen your writing voice alongside CiteForge .

What Makes Us Different
Specialized Focus
Unlike generic citation tools that try to support every format, we specialize in advanced academic formats that require deep expertise and attention to detail.
Field-Specific Intelligence
Our citation engine understands discipline-specific requirements: medical journal abbreviations, legal reporter citations, engineering standards, chemical abstracts, and taxonomic formatting.
Metadata Auto-Fill
Enter a DOI, PubMed ID, arXiv ID, or ISBN and we'll automatically fetch and populate citation details, saving you time and reducing errors.
Bibliography Management
Build and manage your entire reference list with automatic numbering, drag-and-drop reordering, and export to PDF, Word, BibTeX, or plain text.
Privacy-First Design
Your citations and bibliography stay in your browser. No accounts required, no data stored on our servers, complete control over your academic work.
Comprehensive Guides
Learn citation rules with our detailed format guides, complete with examples, common source types, and links to official style manuals.
Built for Researchers
ScholarCite is designed by developers who understand academic workflows. We use modern web technologies to deliver a fast, reliable, and privacy-respecting citation tool that works entirely in your browser.
All citation data is stored locally using IndexedDB, giving you instant access to your bibliography without creating an account or sharing your research with third parties.
We integrate with trusted academic APIs (Crossref, PubMed, arXiv, Google Books) to provide accurate metadata auto-fill while maintaining your privacy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is ScholarCite free to use?
Yes! ScholarCite is completely free to use. There are no subscriptions, no premium features, and no hidden costs. All citation formats and features are available to everyone.
Do I need to create an account?
No! ScholarCite works entirely in your browser. Your citations and bibliography are stored locally using IndexedDB, so you maintain complete control over your data without creating an account.
How accurate are the citations?
Our citation engine follows the official style manuals for each format (IEEE, AMA, Bluebook, CSE, ACS, Harvard, Vancouver). However, citation styles can have variations by institution or journal, so we always recommend double-checking against your specific requirements or instructor guidelines.
Can I export my bibliography?
Yes! You can export your entire bibliography in multiple formats: PDF (for documents), Microsoft Word (.docx), BibTeX (for LaTeX), or plain text (.txt). All export options are available on the Bibliography Manager page.
What metadata lookup services do you support?
ScholarCite integrates with trusted academic APIs to auto-fill citation details. We support DOI lookups (via Crossref), PubMed IDs (for medical literature), arXiv IDs (for preprints), and ISBN lookups (via Google Books API). Simply enter the identifier and we'll fetch the metadata.
Does ScholarCite work offline?
The citation generator works offline once the page is loaded, since all your data is stored locally. However, metadata lookup features (DOI, PubMed, arXiv, ISBN) require an internet connection to fetch information from external databases.
Can I use ScholarCite for commercial publications?
Yes, you can use ScholarCite for any purpose including academic papers, theses, dissertations, journal articles, and commercial publications. The generated citations are yours to use as needed. However, always verify citations meet your publication's specific requirements.
What browsers are supported?
ScholarCite works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We use standard web technologies (IndexedDB, modern JavaScript) that are supported by all current browser versions.
