Citation Management
Search Scholar & PubMed, extract metadata, validate citations, generate BibTeX
What You Can Do
You can search Google Scholar and PubMed for papers, extract complete metadata from multiple sources (CrossRef, PubMed, arXiv), validate existing citations for accuracy, and automatically generate properly formatted BibTeX entries. This ensures citation accuracy, prevents reference errors, and maintains reproducible research standards throughout your writing process.
