CardCite

Generates formatted source citations from any webpage or PDF, with source descriptions for over 600 common sources.

Built for debate and academic research, CardCite pulls accurate citations from any webpage or PDF in one click. On any page, open CardCite from the puzzle piece icon at the top right of Chrome. CardCite automatically detects the publisher, date, author, and title, then formats them into a finished citation that's ready to copy and paste. Tested rigorously on hundreds of websites and PDFs, CardCite delivers the correct publisher, date, author, and title with a very high degree of accuracy. In the extension's settings, you can customize the citation format, including font size, field order, and your team name, or switch to a built-in MLA preset. These changes are saved and applied to every citation you create. CardCite includes optional source descriptions for over 600 major news outlets, think tanks, and government agencies, which are added to the citation automatically when the source is recognized. For a source that isn't included, you can save your own description once, and CardCite will remember it whenever you cite that source again. You can also save citations to a built-in library to search and copy them later.
