CiteRight generates perfectly formatted academic citations across 10 major styles — and auto-fills from any webpage with one click.
What it does
No more Googling the format. No more second-guessing the author order. Just fill in the source and copy.
Click "Fill now" on any webpage and CiteRight reads the title, author, date and site name automatically. On academic journal pages it goes further — pulling volume, issue, pages and DOI.
APA, MLA, Harvard and Chicago require italicised titles. CiteRight copies with proper HTML formatting so italics paste correctly into Microsoft Word and Google Docs — no extra steps.
Your last 20 citations are saved automatically. Reopen the extension at any time and they're there — no re-entering details when you need the same source again.
Nothing you type is ever sent to a server. CiteRight runs entirely in your browser — no account, no tracking, no analytics. Your citation history lives only on your device.

Questions
Yes — completely and permanently free. All 10 citation styles, all source types, auto-fill, and citation history are included with no paywall and no premium tier. If it saves you time, there's a tip jar built into the extension.
Only when you explicitly click "Fill now." At that moment it reads the current page's title, author metadata, and URL to pre-fill the citation form. It never runs automatically, never tracks your browsing, and never sends anything to a server.
Each of the 10 styles is built to its current published specification — APA 7th, MLA 9th, and so on. Auto-fill from academic databases (PubMed, Springer, Elsevier etc.) is accurate for fields that are exposed in the page metadata. As with any citation tool, we recommend a final check against your institution's style guide for high-stakes submissions.
Most citation tools copy plain text, which strips all formatting. CiteRight copies both a plain text version and an HTML version to your clipboard simultaneously — Word and Google Docs use the HTML version and preserve the italics automatically.
Yes — CiteRight has specific scrapers for PubMed, Springer, Nature, Elsevier, Wiley, BMJ, NEJM, JAMA, and AHA journals. On those sites, "Fill now" pulls the full journal citation including authors, journal name, volume, issue, pages and DOI automatically and switches the form to Journal mode.
