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.

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.

Oh yes I was. The college bookstore sold pocket style guides explicitly because of that.
Correct citing can be learned, though.
And it's an important tool in your academia toolbox.
It’s not a necessary tool for all fields. I don’t know your area but mathematics journals have vastly different style guides and citation standards. The best way to handle this is to export a bibtex citation which is just a list of metadata tags, then plug in the journal’s style header before compiling your TeX.
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.
