KEY FEATURES
─────────────────────────────────────

SMART AUTO-FILL
Hit "Fill now" on any webpage and CiteRight reads the title, author, publication date, and site name automatically. On academic journal pages it goes further — pulling volume, issue number, page range, and DOI from PubMed, Springer, Nature, Elsevier, Wiley, BMJ, NEJM, JAMA and more with a single click.

ITALICS THAT ACTUALLY WORK
APA, MLA, Harvard, Chicago and other styles require italicised titles. Most citation tools copy plain text and leave you formatting manually. 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.

Once installed, CiteRight runs entirely in your browser. No account required, no internet connection needed, no login.

COMPLETELY FREE
No paywalls, no premium tier, no subscription. CiteRight is free to use forever with full access to all 10 citation styles.
