About CiteFetch
CiteFetch is a free citation checker and citation generator for students, researchers, and writers. Paste a reference list or enter a DOI, ISBN, URL, title, or PDF. CiteFetch checks identifiers and bibliographic metadata against sources including CrossRef, OpenAlex, OpenLibrary, and Google Books, then flags fabricated records and shows exact field mismatches. It also formats citations in major academic styles. No account is required, there are no ads, and pasted reference lists are not stored.
What CiteFetch does that nothing else does
It verifies citation metadata against multiple real bibliographic databases before formatting the result.
Who CiteFetch is for
Students, researchers, educators, and writers who need to verify references and generate accurate citations.

Which citation styles does CiteFetch support, and can it format an entire checked reference list at once?
Aisha Rahman
What happens when a real source is missing from CrossRef or OpenAlex, can CiteFetch still verify it through ISBN, URL, or other databases?
Marco Bellini
Can CiteFetch check references inside an uploaded PDF automatically, or do I need to paste the reference list first?
