Formerly pretty good free resource for academic citations now turned into a giant pile of steamy hot garbage by the incredible asswipes at Chegg, a corporate name that mostly calls forth the image of a debilitating sexually transmitted infection.
Recommend using instead: https://www.scribbr.com/citation/generator. At least until they also start demanding your firstborn daughter for each citation.
Nah man more like: "let's find a way around it shall we"
Always free, not shitty. Been great for and simple for 5 years now.

It is! I taught research at the grad and doctoral level and Zotero was the best by a long shot. SciWheel is a close second.
I hope the Devil comes for EndNote soon, it is awful and has been awful for a long time.
Try https://www.mybib.com/ instead. No ads
Pro tip: use zotero. Its an open-source bibliography program, you can export the entire bibliography at once in whatever format you want.
Such a godsend! Especially the auto detection features. Just drop the PDF into it and it finds everything needed for a correction citation. I wish website citations would be better tho
I wouldn't mind paying but their prices are always quite high. I'm not convinced these services are that expensive to run
Does anyone subscribe to shit like this? Honestly..
There's like 50 of these. If one enshittifies, jump to another.
Though if I was in academia, I wouldn't mind paying a couple bucks for a high quality one
I'm in academia and I can report that still nobody uses those.
For your own archiving, just use Zotero.
For writing papers, use bibtex.
All those citing websites are just scams for high school/undergrad students trying to find their footing. There is no reason they should exist.
Sure but the overwhelming amount of people citing are students, a group not known to possess a huge amount of spending money
And for this reason, I’m out.
Zotero time
"I never called her back because she gave me a raging case of the cheggs! I still can pee straight, and that it three months ago!"
Not a meme
Nobody seems to mind. I do. It drives me crazy. Apparently it's just me.
What the heck, people use apps for bibliographies now? FFS, just write it yourself.
I must be getting old. Back when I was in high school and college and needed to cite stuff, I did it all freehand. No such tools existed.
You probably weren't graded for correct citation either. Nowadays you can get into real trouble for citing inconsistently or incorrectly. Especially with the automated plagiarism software that automatically runs over your texts once you turn them in.
When you have 100s of citations in multiple chapters, it's nice to have. Especially if you can generate them from a PDF of the paper you're trying to cite.
