QuickBib is a free, open-source citation utility that generates BibTeX entries from academic publication identifiers and bibliographic information. It accepts DOI numbers, arXiv identifiers, article URLs, and publication titles. Supported article sources include Nature, ScienceDirect, Science, PNAS, and several major scientific publishers. The application retrieves citation metadata through Crossref and arXiv using the doi2bib3 backend. Its straightforward interface helps researchers obtain references without manually transcribing publication details. QuickBib is written in Python and uses PyQt6 for its desktop interface.
