CiteSnap

CiteSnap is a mobile + web study tool that turns messy research into clean citations and a usable source library. Students take photos or screenshots of book pages, PDFs, journal articles, or web pages; the app extracts bibliographic details, flags missing fields, and generates citations in APA/MLA/Chicago. It also stores the original “evidence” image next to the citation so you can quickly verify quotes and page numbers later. A lightweight AI layer helps infer author/title/DOI from partial text and suggests the most likely source match, but users must confirm before exporting. Export to Google Docs/Word as a bibliography, or as BibTeX/RIS for Zotero/Mendeley. This is not a full reference manager replacement; it’s a fast capture-and-clean pipeline for people who are already drowning in screenshots and half-copied links.
