What’s new at LumaCite?

New tools, useful fixes, and steady improvements to the way you collect, organize, and cite research.

Website

New blue theme

  • Introduced a clearer blue visual system with brighter accents, softer backgrounds, and more consistent type, cards, and buttons.
  • Reworked the homepage and navigation so the citation tools and cloud library are easier to find and understand on any screen.

Chrome extension · Version 0.1

Reference capture and Google Docs

  • Capture references from PubMed, arXiv, Google Scholar, publisher pages, and other research websites.
  • Save sources to a searchable library so they are ready when you start writing.
  • Open your library inside Google Docs and insert an in-text citation without leaving the document.
  • Choose a citation style, add page or section details, and build a bibliography from the sources used in the document.

Chrome extension · Version 1.0

Citation Generator Chrome extension

  • Generate a citation from the page you are viewing, or paste an identifier, title, or URL when a page has no usable details.
  • Review and edit the source information before LumaCite formats the citation.
  • Copy a bibliography entry or an in-text citation, and download common reference formats.
  • Works without a LumaCite account or library and does not save your browsing history.

Cloud Library · Beta

Cloud Library Reference Manager

  • Keep references, notes, and source details together in one browser-based research library.
  • Find sources by title, author, year, or identifier, then organize them with folders, labels, and starred items.
  • Add references by hand, search online, or import identifiers, BibTeX, RIS, JSON, and pasted bibliographies.
  • Edit complete source records, spot duplicates or missing details, and export selected references for use elsewhere.

Web tools

Citation tools

  • Create a citation from a DOI, PMID, ISBN, arXiv ID, or webpage URL. Review the source details, choose a style, and copy or export the result.
  • Paste a mixed list of identifiers into the bulk citation generator and turn it into one clean bibliography.
  • Upload a research PDF to find its reference list, check the source evidence, correct the metadata, and export the records you need.
  • Paste or upload plain text to turn an unstructured bibliography into editable references.
  • Check citation quality, find missing fields, and complete source metadata before it reaches your work.
  • Reformat citations between common styles, or convert libraries between BibTeX, RIS, EndNote, and CSL JSON.
