What CiteMaker is
CiteMaker helps students and educators prepare bibliographies and reference lists, with citation creation available automatically or manually. Users can start with a book ISBN, website URL, DOI, or imported BibTeX. For ISBN searches, the site lists Google, ISBNdb, Open Library, and WorldCat as database choices. Citation styles include APA 6 and 7, Chicago, Harvard, MLA 8 and 9, Oxford, and Turabian; forms for generative AI citations are also available. The forms guide users through source details and flag required information. As details are entered, CiteMaker creates in-text citations and orders references alphabetically. Finished lists can be copied or exported to email, MS Word, Google Docs, or PDF. Registered users can save reference lists and retrieve them later. The site describes the software for PC, iPad iOS, and Android tablets, and lists Android, iOS, and web platforms. A free plan and a 30-day trial are listed. The registration form says a yearly subscription fee applies after the trial. The site links to a Usage Policy and Privacy page, but the opened page does not state specific security or compliance certifications.
