Choose the workflow for your paper

Cite This For Me offers reference generation and a premium service alongside Chegg paper checking. Citation is useful when the source records and the document need to stay connected through drafting and review.

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.

Check the actual Harvard variant

Harvard is a family of author and date conventions rather than one universal format. Start with your course’s named guide and compare the required edition with the styles available in the tool.

Citation supports Cite Them Right Harvard alongside its other supported style families. Keep a source’s author, date and publication details correct before changing formatting. A style switch cannot repair metadata for the wrong work.

Bring review into the document

Cite This For Me directs paper checking to Chegg. Citation’s draft workflow combines source records, comments and AI suggestions that you choose whether to apply. Decide which review task and coverage your project requires.

For a paraphrase, inspect meaning as well as wording. Keep the citation beside the borrowed idea and compare any revision with the original source. Citation’s public web check does not cover every private submission or certify originality.

Move the references and the evidence deliberately

Use a supported RIS or BibTeX export when your existing workflow provides one. Otherwise, add the original works by identifier or title and review the records. Pasted reference text is not automatically a linked source.

Bring the draft as an appropriate DOCX or TXT file and inspect the result. Confirm that the final reference list follows your course’s Harvard variant before replacing your original working copy.

Keep exploring.

Bring your sources and writing into one workspace. These guides will help you take the next step.

A few more questions.
A little more clarity.

No. Check the named guide and edition required by your institution. Citation supports Cite Them Right Harvard; inspect the output against the assignment instructions.

Citation’s public web check is its own workflow for reviewing accessible matching passages. Do not assume the same coverage or results as a separate checking service.

Yes, as text. To use connected citations, add or import the source records, verify their details and insert them into the document.

Yes. The web workspace is free with monthly usage allowances for source additions, AI messages and web check words. The Usage page shows the allowance and remaining use for your account. Developer API credits have separate terms.

Choose a supported style to reformat linked citations and the bibliography in the document. Inspect the required edition and locators. Pasted reference text needs to be connected to source records before it can update.

Share the document with the appropriate permission and keep comments beside the passage they concern. Agree who will resolve source questions and approve the final wording.

Import an appropriate DOCX or TXT file, inspect the text and formatting and connect the citations to checked source records. Preserve the original while testing the handoff.

Open the actual file and inspect headings, quotations, locators and bibliography entries. Confirm that the document and its references fit the requirements of the next editor or submission system.

Start with one representative section and its source types. Keep the original project until you have checked the imported records and the actual document export.

Return to the work you actually read and correct the record before citing it. A style change does not identify the correct edition or repair a mismatched source.
