Why Acade

Create citations from the sources you already found.

A citation generator should do more than rearrange punctuation. Acade helps you start from a title, DOI, URL, PDF, or saved paper, then check the reference before you add it to your work.

Start with the source you have

Create a citation from a title, DOI, URL, author details, PDF, or paper from your literature search.

Build a reference list as you write

Keep source details, citations, and the reference list in one place while you work on notes and drafts.

Check every citation before submission

Acade reduces formatting work while you remain responsible for accuracy, relevance, and final style requirements.

How it works

How to generate and check a citation with Acade

Use the citation generator as part of a deliberate research workflow, not as a substitute for opening and reviewing the original publication.

Add a source

Start with a paper, book, webpage, DOI, URL, PDF, or source record already saved in Acade.

Review the record

Confirm authors, title, date, publication type, journal or publisher information, pages, and identifiers.

Choose the required style

Select the citation style required by your assignment, discipline, journal, or publisher, then review the result.

Use it with your notes and draft

Keep the checked citation with the claim it supports and perform a final bibliography review before submission.

Source types

Start with the information you have. Check what is missing.

Different source types need different fields. A citation tool can organize available metadata, but it should never invent author names, dates, pages, or publication details.

JOURNAL ARTICLE

Title, DOI, or research record

Review author order, year, article title, journal, volume, issue, page range, and DOI.

WEB PAGE

URL and publisher details

Review page title, website name, author, publication or update date, and the appropriate link.

BOOK OR CHAPTER

Publication information

Check contributors, edition, publisher, chapter title, editors, and page range where relevant.

PDF OR PREPRINT

Version and publication status

Check whether the file is a preprint, accepted manuscript, or published version before citing it.

Citation workflow

Create citations and a reference list from sources you can check.

Use the same reviewed source record when you add an in-text citation, build a bibliography, or revisit the paper behind a claim.

One source, three practical uses

Keep publication details available when you cite, write, and complete the final reference list.

RESEARCH RECORD

Title, authors, year, abstract, source type, DOI, PDF availability, and your saved notes.

IN-TEXT CITATION

Use the relevant source beside the claim it informs, then check that the citation matches the required style.

BIBLIOGRAPHY / REFERENCE LIST

Prepare the formatted entry from the reviewed record, then check consistency across the final bibliography.

Citation styles

Choose the format your work requires.

Use a style-specific guide when the format is the main task. Each page focuses on the fields, conventions, and final checks that matter for that citation style.

Citation checker

Check every citation before you submit.

A citation generator can prepare a reference entry. You still need to confirm that the source record, citation style, and use of the source are correct.

Verify the original source: check authors, dates, titles, source type, pages, and identifiers against the publication record.

Use the right style rule: citation requirements can change by source type, edition, course, journal, and institution.

Use your judgment: only you can decide whether a source is reliable, relevant, and cited in context.

FAQ

Questions about AI citation generation

Practical answers about preparing, checking, and using academic citations responsibly.

What is an AI citation generator?

An AI citation generator helps prepare citations and reference entries from available source details such as a title, DOI, URL, author, journal, or PDF. Review the original source before you use the result.

Which citation styles can I create?

Acade’s workflow supports common academic styles including APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, IEEE, Vancouver, and ACS. Check the final output against your institution or publisher requirements.

Can I generate a citation from a DOI or PDF?

Yes. Start with the details you have, including a DOI, title, URL, PDF, author information, or a saved research record. Verify the metadata before citing it.

Can I use an AI-generated citation without checking it?
