Using the service

You may use The Citation Generator for lawful academic, research, teaching and personal writing work. Please do not misuse the service, interfere with the site, attempt to bypass security controls or submit content that infringes someone else's rights.

Accounts and saved projects

You can generate individual citations without an account. If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for the source data, notes and projects saved under that account.

Citation accuracy

Generated citations depend on third-party metadata and the details you provide. We work to format references carefully, but you should always review author names, dates, titles, editions, page ranges, DOIs and URLs before submitting or publishing your bibliography.

Availability and changes

The service is provided as is and may change as we improve features, metadata sources, exports or account tools. We may update these terms when the product changes, and continued use means you accept the updated terms.
