Invitation-only beta

Your research library, cleaned up for serious citation work.

LumaCite Library is an online reference manager for collecting sources, organizing projects, checking citation quality, and exporting clean bibliographies without the clutter of a traditional desktop reference manager.

B Private beta by invitation only. The library is currently open to approved beta users while we refine the experience. If you are not invited yet, the login screen will let you know that access is not open.

Built for the messy middle of research.

The library is designed around the work that happens after you find a source and before you submit a manuscript, thesis, grant, review, or reading list.

01

Save every source

Collect articles, books, web sources, identifiers, pasted references, and imported citation files in one searchable place.

02

Organize by project

Use folders, labels, starred records, trash recovery, and fast filters to keep active research separate from archive material.

03

Clean citation metadata

Spot missing identifiers, incomplete fields, duplicate records, and references that need review before export.

04

Import what you already have

Bring in RIS, BibTeX, CSL JSON, identifiers, URLs, pasted bibliography text, and document-derived reference lists.

05

Search like a researcher

Find records by title, author, journal, year, DOI, PMID, label, folder, abstract terms, and exact phrases.

06

Export with confidence

Prepare structured exports for writing, review, citation cleanup, reference transfer, and bibliography workflows.

From scattered sources to a clean working library.

A practical workflow for papers, systematic reviews, thesis chapters, and lab reading lists.

1

Capture

Add references from identifiers, pages, pasted text, or citation files.

2

Organize

Group sources by project, topic, review stage, course, lab, or manuscript section.

3

Check

Review duplicates, missing fields, suspicious dates, and records that need metadata cleanup.

4

Export

Move clean records into your writing, citation, or review workflow when the set is ready.

How LumaCite Library compares.

Not a replacement for every heavyweight reference manager. It is a faster workspace for citation-heavy cleanup and research organization.

Need LumaCite Library beta Traditional reference manager Plain spreadsheet or notes app
Fast citation cleanup Designed for quick checks, identifiers, duplicates, imports, and exports. Powerful, but often heavier than needed for one cleanup job. Flexible, but manual and easy to break.
Project organization Folders, labels, starred records, filters, and saved library views. Usually strong, but can feel complex for lightweight projects. Depends on manual naming and discipline.
Bibliography QA Built around missing metadata, duplicate detection, and export readiness. Varies by tool and plugin setup. Mostly manual review.
Learning curve Simple, web-first, focused on common citation tasks. Can require setup, styles, plugins, libraries, and sync choices. Easy to start, hard to scale.

Quality checks for cleaner bibliographies.

Because a library is only useful if the records are trustworthy when you finally need them.

  • Duplicate awareness: catch repeated records before they spread across folders and exports.
  • Missing-field review: see which entries need DOI, journal, author, year, or title cleanup.
  • Import confidence: bring in existing bibliographies and quickly find what still needs attention.
  • Export readiness: separate records ready for writing from entries that need another pass.

Questions before beta access opens wider.

Can everyone sign up today?

Who is the library for?

Researchers, students, librarians, editors, systematic reviewers, and teams cleaning citation-heavy source sets.

What will open next?

The beta will expand gradually with invited users, shared-library workflows, and more polished collaboration features.
