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: <a href="">https://www.scribbr.com/citation/generator</a>. At least until they also start demanding your firstborn daughter for each citation.
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.
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.
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 feel like if you were writing enough to be willing to pay that much it it would be more worth it to just learn to use LaTeX and have it all handled automatically
Well it will automatically generate the citation, it just won’t automatically get the information for it, which has never been an issue for me but thinking about it I can see how it would be sometimes
I think Zotero can generate a file which you can then import into LaTeX with all of the citation details. That’s worked very nicely for me in the past.
