Frequently asked questions
How do I generate an APA 7 citation?
Pick APA 7 as the style, choose a source type (journal, book, website…), then fill the fields or paste a URL/DOI and press Fetch to auto-fill metadata from Crossref/DataCite. The formatted reference and in-text citation appear instantly.
Is my bibliography saved locally?
Yes. Every entry you add to the bibliography is stored in your browser’s localStorage; it survives reloads and never leaves your device. Export any time with Copy all, Download .txt, or Send to Text Studio.
Which citation styles are supported?
Over 40 styles grouped by family: APA 6/7, MLA 8/9, Chicago 17 (full note and author–date), Turabian, Harvard variants, IEEE, Vancouver, AMA, ACS, CSE, NLM, OSCOLA, Bluebook, McGill, MHRA, SBL, ABNT, GOST, Nature, Science, PLOS, Cell, and more.
Can I copy footnotes for Chicago or OSCOLA?
Yes. Note-based styles show the full footnote as the citation preview. Copy citation copies exactly what you paste into your document, and the Footnotes box collects every note for bulk export.
Why should I review fetched metadata?
Databases occasionally miss fields or return partial records. The review hint flags gaps so your final reference is accurate, and nothing is auto-submitted anywhere.
