What Scribbr Citation Generator does
Scribbr Citation Generator reads the webpage you're currently viewing and creates a formatted citation for it in the style you choose, such as APA, MLA, Chicago, or Harvard. Instead of manually copying the title, author, and date into a citation template, you click the extension and it builds the reference for you, ready to paste into your paper's bibliography.
Scribbr Citation Generator free vs paid
Generating individual webpage citations with the extension is available at no cost. Scribbr's website offers additional paid services like plagiarism checking and proofreading, which are separate from the free citation generator extension. Check the listing for the current details on what's included.
Is Scribbr Citation Generator safe?
The extension needs access to the current page's content to detect details like the title, author, and publication date for the citation. It doesn't need broader access beyond reading the page you're citing. Review the permissions shown at install if you want the specifics.
