CiteBuddy

Turning a web page, a paper or a Wikidata item into a BibTeX entry without typing every field by hand is the one job CiteBuddy does.

CiteBuddy is a citation generator that takes a URL, a DOI or a Wikidata item ID and returns a BibTeX citation for it.

Those are three kinds of sources that most people end up pasting into a reference list: articles with a DOI, ordinary web pages, and entities that live in Wikidata.

The output is BibTeX, so it drops into a LaTeX workflow or any reference manager that imports .bib files.

If you write papers, theses or coursework in LaTeX, CiteBuddy takes over the tedious part of building a bibliography one entry at a time.

Researchers, scholars and students are the obvious users.

CiteBuddy pulls metadata for each source so the entry arrives filled in rather than blank.

Its scope is narrow: one input, one citation.

That focus is the appeal, but it is not a full reference manager, so check the generated fields before you submit anything.
