Good questions.
Straight answers.
Is Citation free?
Citation is free, with monthly usage limits to keep the service available for everyone. Your Usage settings show your remaining allowance. If you need more, contact hello@alptekincan.com for a manual limit review.
Which citation styles are supported?
APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago 18 (author and date, plus notes and bibliography), Cite Them Right Harvard 12, IEEE, Vancouver (NLM), AMA 11, and ACS. You can change styles without rebuilding your source list.
What does the plagiarism checker search?
It looks for relevant sources on the public web, then compares your text with passages we can actually retrieve. The report shows matching passages and source links. It does not cover private university repositories or every published work, and a match is not a verdict of plagiarism.
Does the writing assistant change my document?
You stay in control. Ask a question or select a passage for help. Suggested edits appear for review; you choose what to accept, dismiss, or undo.
Can I bring my existing work?
Yes. Paste your text or import a TXT or DOCX draft. PDFs can be added as sources. You can export a document as DOCX, download a PDF, or download your bibliography as BibTeX or RIS.
How do I add a source?
Open Cite and paste a URL, DOI, or ISBN, or search for a title. Review the source details, choose your citation style, and insert the citation into your draft.
Should I review generated citations?
Yes. Check details such as the author, title, publication date, and page numbers against the original source. Citation helps with formatting, but a final review helps you catch missing or incorrect information.
Does a matching passage mean plagiarism?
Not necessarily. A match may be a quotation, a common phrase, or a passage that needs a reference. Read the linked source and consider the context. No matches does not prove that a document is original.
How can I export my finished draft?
Use Export in your document to download a DOCX or download a PDF. You can also export your bibliography as BibTeX or RIS to use with other reference tools.
Can I preview the workspace before getting started?
Yes. The product page shows examples of writing suggestions, source references, passage checks, and document sharing so you can see how they fit together before creating your own document.
