Choose the workflow for your paper
BibGuru focuses on citation projects and offers Plus benefits for saved sources, folders and access across devices. Citation is useful when you want to develop and review the essay alongside its checked source records.
Start with a representative section of your paper and the sources it needs. Compare the reference work, revision process and actual delivery file before changing the workflow for a complete project.
Decide what you need to save
BibGuru distinguishes its citation generator from Plus features such as saving sources for later and organizing projects and folders. Check the account and project behavior you need before choosing a tool.
In Citation, source records belong to the writing workflow. Save and inspect the publication details, then insert the citation into the paragraph that uses the source. The web workspace is free with usage allowances visible in your account.
Turn a source collection into an argument
A folder of relevant readings is a starting point for an essay. Write the question you need to answer and group the evidence by the points the paper will make. Keep your interpretation distinct from each source’s claim.
Use Citation’s assistant for a bounded revision, such as clarifying a transition. Compare the proposal with the draft and the source before accepting it. Ask a reviewer to comment on the specific passage when the evidence or wording needs discussion.
Check the available transfer format
Inspect the export your current workflow actually supplies. If it is an eligible RIS or BibTeX file, import it and review the fields. If it is formatted text, use its identifiers to add the publications rather than assuming the text becomes linked records.
Keep the original project while checking the imported draft and references. Export the finished paper in the needed format and inspect the actual file, including the bibliography and any passages changed during revision.
Keep exploring.
