CardCite

Accurate, fully customizable citations for debate and academic research from any webpage or PDF in one click.

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, or press Alt+C. CardCite automatically detects the details it needs, then formats them into a finished citation that's ready to copy and paste. Every field stays editable before you copy it. Already have a citation format? Paste one of your citations and CardCite sets your format from it and applies it for every citation. You can check it and make changes before saving, or set up the format yourself field by field. You can also add your team name and the author's qualification, such as their post or credentials, which CardCite fills in when the page states one. CardCite is highly accurate. It does not use AI to detect or create any part of a citation. Tested on thousands of websites and PDFs, it gets the publisher, date, author, and title right on the vast majority of pages, including ones where other citation tools get them wrong. You can read more about its accuracy and how it works at cardcitesource.com. CardCite includes optional source descriptions for over 1,000 major news outlets, think tanks, journals, and government agencies, added automatically when the source is recognized. For any other source, you can save your own description once and CardCite will remember it.
