About CiteMe
CiteMe is a web based citation generator and reference checker for students and researchers. Users paste a DOI, PMID, ISBN, URL, paper title or topic, and the tool retrieves the record from scholarly databases including OpenAlex, CrossRef and PubMed, then formats it in APA, MLA, Harvard, Chicago, Vancouver, IEEE and other styles. The source provenance stays visible, and results that need manual review are labeled as such.
The Reference Checker takes a bibliography, finds missing matches, broken identifiers and unverified records, and is positioned for verifying AI generated references before submission. Other tools convert DOI, ISBN, URL and PMID inputs to citations, extract references from a paper PDF, and export to BibTeX, RIS and Word formats for use with Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, RefWorks, Citavi and Overleaf. Browser extensions are listed for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari. Basic citing needs no account.
The free plan costs $0 and includes 60 plus styles, academic database search, three Reference Checker runs per month and browser extensions. Pro unlocks batch PDF import of up to 20 PDFs per run, unlimited citations and checks, more than 10,000 styles, unlimited bibliography reformatting, DOCX and PDF export, a built in PDF reader and unlimited projects. Pro is sold on monthly and semester billing cycles, and the vendor describes the semester plan at about $3.75 per month. A one time Thesis Pass costs $8.99 for 30 days of Pro. Institutional use is handled through a contact form.
