How it works

  1. Drag & Drop your manuscript

    Drop in your paper — in-text citations, reference list, or both. The Wizard parses everything automatically.

  2. Verify & Correct

    Every citation is cross-checked against Crossref, OpenAlex, Open Library, and Google Books. Mismatches, missing DOIs, and stale preprint data are flagged and fixed.

  3. Export

    Download a corrected bibliography in your target style. Copy and paste it straight into your manuscript.

Next Generation Reference Manager

Works the way you do. Nothing to install. Just drag and drop.

Citation ↔ Reference Matching

Every missing or mismatched citation is instantly highlighted. No more manually checking each one.

One-Click Reference Search

Each author-year citation is automatically searched. Type additional search terms if needed. Clicking the reference updates the reference list and starts the next search.

DOI Verification & Repair

Every reference is checked against Crossref. Missing DOIs are found, wrong ones flagged, and references automatically updated.

Any Citation Style, Instantly

Export your corrected bibliography in APA, MLA, Chicago, or any of thousands of available styles. Uses the same formatter as Zotero.
