Formerly pretty good free resource for academic citations now turned into a giant pile of steamy hot garbage by the incredible asswipes at Chegg, a corporate name that mostly calls forth the image of a debilitating sexually transmitted infection.
Recommend using instead: https://www.scribbr.com/citation/generator. At least until they also start demanding your firstborn daughter for each citation.
Try https://www.mybib.com/ instead. No ads
Always free, not shitty. Been great for and simple for 5 years now.
I wouldn’t mind paying but their prices are always quite high. I’m not convinced these services are that expensive to run
There’s like 50 of these. If one enshittifies, jump to another.
Though if I was in academia, I wouldn’t mind paying a couple bucks for a high quality one
I feel like if you were writing enough to be willing to pay that much it it would be more worth it to just learn to use LaTeX and have it all handled automatically
I’m in academia and I can report that still nobody uses those.
For your own archiving, just use Zotero.
For writing papers, use bibtex.
All those citing websites are just scams for high school/undergrad students trying to find their footing. There is no reason they should exist.
Zotero time
Does anyone subscribe to shit like this? Honestly…
And for this reason, I’m out.
Not a meme
