Relevance scoring

Every candidate source gets a numerical match score against your question, ranked highest first.

Supporting quotes

Each source arrives with a quoted passage that shows exactly why it fits your claim.

Parallel search

Five databases, one query.

CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, PubMed, and arXiv searched simultaneously — the combined coverage your library subscribes to, but unified.

The flow

Three steps, most of it invisible.

I

Describe your question

Type your thesis, claim, or research question — a sentence is enough. Pick a citation style and how many sources you want back.

II

Search five databases in parallel

Your query fans out across CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, PubMed, and arXiv. Candidates are scored by topical relevance and quote fit.

III

Leave with a bibliography

Top-ranked sources stream back with supporting quotes and pre-formatted citations. Copy, paste, cite — bibliography done.

Two modes

Discover what you need. Verify what you wrote.

Discovery is the main thing: feed a question, leave with a bibliography. Verification is the sidekick — useful when you've already written something and want to audit the references.

The main act · Build from scratch

Start from a question. Finish with a bibliography.

Describe your thesis, claim, or research question. Citation Kitchen queries five academic databases, scores candidates by relevance, and hands back the top sources with supporting quotes and pre-formatted citations.

An AI citation generator vs. Scholar, MyBib and ChatGPT

Google Scholar gets you a results page and an evening of abstracts. MyBib formats the sources you found yourself, and ChatGPT pads the list with a few it invented.

Discover mode is unreal for lit reviews. I described my thesis topic and got fifteen relevance-ranked sources with supporting quotes and pre-formatted citations inside a minute. It would have taken me a full day in the library.

PhD Candidate, History

I was staring at a blank page with no idea where to start. Typed my research question, got back a ranked bibliography with quotes showing exactly why each source fit. Skipped the week of library crawling entirely.

Psychology, 4th year

I use Discover to build the bibliography, then hand the paper back to Verify before submission. One tool covers the whole arc — from blank page to defensible reference list.

Questions

Everything else, briefly.

Citation Kitchen is an academic source-discovery tool. In Discover mode (the main thing), you describe a thesis, claim, or research question, and Citation Kitchen searches five academic databases in parallel and returns a relevance-ranked bibliography with supporting quotes and pre-formatted citations in your chosen style. Verify mode is a secondary feature that audits an existing paper's references.

You enter a topic, thesis, or research question (a sentence or two is enough), pick a citation style (APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, or Harvard), and choose how many sources you want back. Citation Kitchen fans the query out across CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, OpenAlex, PubMed, and arXiv, scores each candidate by topical relevance, and streams the top matches back with supporting quotes and ready-to-paste citations.

Scholar searches one index and leaves you to do the ranking, quote-hunting, and citation formatting yourself. Citation Kitchen searches five databases simultaneously, ranks candidates by how well they answer your question, extracts a supporting quote from each source, and hands back a finished citation in your chosen style — minutes of work instead of hours.

CrossRef (150M+ journal articles), Semantic Scholar (200M+ academic papers), OpenAlex (250M+ scholarly works), PubMed (36M+ biomedical articles), and arXiv (2.4M+ preprints). Your query is dispatched across all five in parallel and the combined candidate set is ranked before being returned.

Verify is the sidekick mode for when you already have a draft. Paste text or upload a PDF/DOCX/TXT and Citation Kitchen extracts every reference, resolves identifiers, checks metadata against academic databases, and flags anything fabricated, misattributed, or broken — then offers real replacements. Great for catching AI-generated fake citations before submission.

You can try Citation Kitchen with a free Ryne account. A Discover search is a flat 75 coins. Verify is 50 coins up to 1,500 words, 75 up to 4,000 and 100 above that. Free accounts include starter coins — no credit card required to get started.

Citation Kitchen uses a multi-factor relevance score combining semantic similarity between your question and each candidate's abstract, citation-graph centrality, publication venue, and quote alignment. Sources scoring above 80% are shown first. You always see the score so you can apply your own judgment.
Last step

Describe your topic. Walk away with a ranked, quoted, formatted reference list — and skip the library crawl entirely.
