Bookmarklet (no install needed)

Show the bookmarks bar (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + B), then drag the button below up there:

↦ Save to CitApp
  1. Drag the button above to your bookmarks bar.
  2. Go to an article and highlight the text you want to save.
  3. Click Save to CitApp in your bookmarks bar.
  4. The source appears in your Inbox, drag it to the right category.

Note: you must be logged in to CitApp. A few sites (e.g. GitHub) block bookmarklets for security, in that case paste the link into the project manually instead.

Already writing in Google Docs?

Install the add-on so you never paste citations by hand — insert them at your cursor from the sidebar, and the reference list rebuilds itself.
