citeert

Citeert is a cross‑platform citation management and bibliography generation tool designed to streamline scholarly writing. It provides a centralized library for sources, automated metadata extraction, and formatting of in‑text citations and reference lists across multiple citation styles, including APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, and thousands of community‑contributed variants. The project emphasizes interoperability, allowing import from DOIs, ISBNs, BibTeX files, and reference databases, as well as export to BibTeX, RIS, EndNote XML, or plain text, enabling integration with word processors and other writing tools.

Its user interface supports tagging, notes, and collaborative workspaces, enabling teams to share libraries and annotate sources. AI‑assisted features offer automatic author disambiguation, venue and year standardization, and suggested related sources based on a user’s library and writing context. The browser extension can capture bibliographic data from pages and databases, while offline desktop clients maintain access without network connectivity. The platform prioritizes accuracy and provenance, with source metadata and edits tracked for auditability.

Citeert is designed as a client‑server platform with an optional local‑only mode. Data can be stored in an encrypted cloud or on local devices, with granular sharing controls. The project is released under an open‑source license, encouraging community review and plugin development. An API supports third‑party integrations with reference managers, learning management systems, and manuscript editors.

Since its emergence in the early 2020s, citeert has been adopted by researchers, universities, and writing centers seeking a unified workflow for citations. See also: citation management software, BibTeX, Zotero, EndNote, Mendeley, RefWorks.
