Citations Checker
Citations Checker is a browser-based citation checking and reference management service for students, researchers, writers, publishers, and other professionals. Users can check individual citations, verify reference lists in batches, and audit PDF, DOCX, BibTeX, or RIS documents. It identifies missing reference details, duplicate entries, inconsistent styles, retracted or unreachable sources, and validates DOIs, ISBNs, and URLs. Users can review suggested repairs, generate citations in more than 100 styles, including APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, and IEEE, and revisit saved checks and generated citations in a searchable workspace. Results and bibliographies can be exported in supported formats. Paid plans add larger monthly credit allowances, Google Scholar access, and API features at eligible tiers. The service supports academic and other research-based writing workflows that require users to review, organize, and format references.

LumaCite
LumaCite is a browser-based reference manager and online citation toolkit for researchers, students, academic writers, librarians, editors, and research teams. Its cloud library lets users add sources manually, from online search, identifiers, PDFs, or web pages; organize records with folders, labels, and starred items; search by title, author, year, or identifier; edit bibliographic details; identify duplicates or missing metadata; and export selected references. Separate web tools generate citations and bibliographies, extract references from PDFs and text, check and complete citation metadata, reformat citation styles, and convert files such as BibTeX, RIS, EndNote, and CSL JSON. A Chrome extension captures references from research websites, and a Google Docs workflow inserts citations and builds bibliographies while writing. Public citation tools are available without a library account, while cloud library access requires approval-based beta access.
