2022. Paperpile created free citation app for students
Paperpile has created a new app called BibGuru, a simple and streamlined citation generator specifically designed for students. While collaborating with students, the company recognized that conventional reference managers such as Paperpile can be excessive for basic student essays. To address this issue, they created a new app. The aim of BibGuru was to develop a citation tool that is user-friendly and requires minimal training to operate. BibGuru is completely free and features a search bar that allows students to search for books, websites and journal articles and add them directly to a bibliography. MLA, APA and thousands of other citation styles can be used to generate citations and references. Students can create individual assignments and folders can be used to arrange sources according to assignment requirements, source type, or other criteria. Citations and bibliographies can be exported as a Word document, copied and pasted into Google Docs, or exported as bibliographic data files (BibTeX or RIS) for use with other reference management apps.
