iPhone
Paste a DOI, scan a book's barcode or drop a link: Citelle builds the entry from the real record. Then check whether the sources in an AI answer actually exist.
Citelle builds citations from the real record, not a guess. Paste a DOI, an ISBN, a link or a title and Citelle looks it up at doi.org, Crossref, Open Library or the web page itself, then formats the entry with its in-text citation.
CITE IN SECONDS
• Paste a DOI, ISBN, link or title and tap Find
• Scan the ISBN barcode on a book's back cover
• Take a photo of a reference line; the text is read on your iPhone
• Edit any field by hand, or enter a source manually
8 CITATION STYLES
APA 7, MLA 9 and Chicago author-date are free. Pro adds Chicago notes-bibliography, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver and ABNT. Switch style and every entry reformats instantly.
CHECK AI SOURCES
Paste an answer from any AI chatbot or a reference list. Each reference is looked up in Crossref, Semantic Scholar and Open Library and marked found, close match (with what differs, such as the year) or not found. "Not found" is not proof a source is fake: some local journals, books and grey literature aren't indexed, so look those up before you cite them.
YOUR BIBLIOGRAPHY
• Sorted the way each style requires, with in-text citations
• Copy it into Word, Pages or Google Docs with italics kept
• Pro exports Word-ready .rtf with hanging indents, plus BibTeX and RIS for LaTeX
