What CitationWizard.net does for you

Two Search Engines

Scholar mode lets you see what's out there. Live-search finds a particular article with the minimum number of keystrokes. Both build a reference list based on reliable data.

Find Missing References Fast

Have in-text citations but no reference list yet? Type an author name and a word from the title — matching papers appear instantly. Click to add them to your bibliography.

Are Your Sources Real?

CitationWizard.net checks every reference against Crossref, OpenAlex, and other public databases. If a source doesn't exist or the details are wrong, you'll find out before your professor does.

Any Format, Instantly

Export your bibliography in APA, MLA, Chicago, or whatever your professor requires. Uses the same formatter as Zotero, so the formatting is correct every time.
