This tool might be useful for quick one-off referencing, but I feel that most will probably be better off using a proper citation manager like the open-source Zotero.

Keep Zotero/Mendeley for collection management; use this simple tool when you just need the formatted references list in five seconds.
Where it helps
- Deep-dive reading – fetch bulk RIS file and dump a seminal paper’s entire bibliography into Zotero/Mendeley and follow the threads.
- Bulk citing – grab BibTeX's for a cluster of related papers without hunting them down one-by-one.
- LLM grounding – feed language models a clean reference list so they stop hallucinating citations.
Did you just use a LLM to write this reply?
Zotero can't extract references from a paper to read later, or at least, I've been using it wrong for years now.
