Open the page, click the extension icon and press Cite this page. Check the preview, then save it or copy it right away. ❓ Will my citations be deleted after a few days? No. The library is stored locally in Chrome and stays until you delete entries yourself. Use the JSON backup to move it to another device. ❓ Which citation styles are supported? APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago Author-Date and Harvard. You can change the style at any time. ❓ What if the page has no author or date? The preview marks missing fields, and you can fill them in by hand before saving. Many websites do not show an author, and each style has rules for that case. ❓ Does it work on news sites with paywalls or bot protection? Yes, as long as the page is open in your browser. The extension reads the page you can see instead of downloading it again from a server. ✅ Add Website Citation to Chrome, cite your first page and keep your sources safe for the whole semester.
