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.

    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’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.
