Your complete research workflow

From finding a paper to citing it in your thesis — EzyCite covers every step.

01

Discover

Search 250M+ papers by topic, title, author, or DOI. Use AI semantic search to find papers by meaning — not just keyword matches. Filter by open access, date, and publication type.

02

Collect

Save papers to your personal library with one click. Import existing references via BibTeX from Zotero, Mendeley, or any reference manager. No account needed to start.

03

Organize

Add notes, tags, and organize papers into named collections. Sign in to sync your library across devices and share collections with collaborators via a link.

04

Cite

Export to APA, MLA, Chicago, BibTeX, or RIS. Use the Google Docs add-on to insert citations and keep your bibliography in sync automatically.

Everything in one reference manager

Built for students, researchers, and academics who need more than basic bookmarks.

Personal Reference Library

Save papers with one click and build a searchable personal library. Add notes, tags, and organize into named collections. Stored automatically in your browser — no account needed to start.

Citation Network Graph

Visualize how your saved papers reference each other in an interactive network graph. Node size reflects influence (PageRank). Instantly identify the backbone papers of your research area.

AI Search & Paper Summaries

Search by meaning, not just keywords — find papers even when you don't know the exact terms. Open any paper for a structured AI summary: contribution, method, result, and limitations.

Google Docs Integration

The EzyCite add-on brings your library into Google Docs. Place your cursor, select a paper, and your in-text citation and bibliography update automatically. Supports APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, and BibTeX.

Set it up

Export in Any Format

Export your full library or selected papers in APA, MLA, Chicago, BibTeX, or RIS. Copy to clipboard or download a file. Import directly into Zotero, Mendeley, LaTeX, or Word.

250M+ Open Papers

Powered by OpenAlex — the world's largest open scholarly database. Search freely without paywalls or sign-up. Filter by open access status, date range, and publication type.

Google Docs Add-on

Cite directly in Google Docs

Like Mendeley's Word plugin or Zotero Connector — but built for Google Docs. The EzyCite add-on connects your library to your document. Click to insert a citation, and your bibliography formats itself automatically.

  • Works with your existing EzyCite library
  • Inserts in-text citations and auto-formats references
  • Bibliography syncs as you write
