Generating a citation solves the formatting problem, but researchers often have another question: How does this source actually fit into my research?
ResearchPal's AI Research Assistant complements the Citation Generator by helping you investigate sources before and after you cite them. You can explore the paper's ideas, clarify terminology, understand findings, and discuss how evidence relates to your research question.
ResearchPal's Citation Generator supports APA, Harvard, MLA, Chicago, BibTeX and metadata views, and can generate references from inputs such as URLs, DOIs, titles and research identifiers.
The AI Research Assistant can help you:
This creates a more useful workflow than treating citations as isolated formatting tasks:
Discover → Understand → Evaluate → Cite → Write
