Cite This Page — Fully Customizable Instant Citations for Research Cite This Page turns any webpage into a ready-to-paste citation with one click. Built for students, researchers, and anyone who needs clean, credible citations fast, it automatically reads the page you're viewing and fills in the author, platform, publication date, title, URL, and access date—so you don't have to hunt through bylines, footers, and buried metadata. Key Features Automatically extracts citation information Scans the current webpage for the author, publisher/platform, publication date, title, and other relevant information—even when a website hides these details in unlabeled text instead of proper metadata. Adds author and publisher credentials Automatically looks up concise author and publisher credentials using Wikipedia when available, so your citation can provide useful context—for example: Jane Smith (senior fellow, Brookings Institution) rather than simply listing a name. Captures highlighted quotes Highlight text on the page and Cite This Page automatically captures it as a quoted excerpt, formatted and ready to place beneath your citation. Citation history Keeps a history of your 20 most recent citations, allowing you to quickly re-copy or revisit a source without scanning the webpage again. Fully customizable formatting Customize your citations with control over fonts, font sizes, bold, italics, spacing, and more, giving you complete control over how your research is formatted.
