Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built Citation Generator after seeing how much time students and researchers spend switching between citation guides, cleaning up references, and checking punctuation across different styles.
The goal was to create one focused tool that accepts almost any starting point—a DOI, URL, ISBN, partial source details, or even a research topic—and turns it into a structured reference list in APA, Harvard, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, or Vancouver style.
While building it, I realized that formatting alone isn’t enough. Citation metadata can be incomplete or uncertain, so the product evolved to include clear verification markers, a checklist of details to confirm, and suggested scholarly search terms. It helps you work faster without pretending that unverified information is guaranteed to be correct.
I’d love to hear which citation styles or source types you want us to support next. Thanks for checking it out!
