Corroba - Free, accurate citation
Cite AI, Verify Links, How To Cite
Generate accurate APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard and IEEE citations from a URL, DOI, or ISBN. Free, no ads, no sign-up — every source verified against real databases.
`The free citation tool that checks your sources are real` > Corroba is a free, no-ads citation generator that's actually accurate — every source is checked against real databases (Crossref, PubMed, OpenAlex), so it never invents one. It also verifies whole bibliographies, catches fake AI citations, finds free PDFs, and more.
> Hey Product Hunt 👋
> I'm Colin, and I built Corroba because every citation tool I've used felt *hostile*. EasyBib and its cousins bury you in ads and pop-ups, paywall basic APA, and dark-pattern you into subscriptions. And now ChatGPT will happily hand you a perfectly-formatted citation for a paper that doesn't exist.
> So I made the opposite: a citation tool that's free, clean, and — most importantly — **honest.**
> Corroba never invents a citation. Every source is pulled from real bibliographic databases (Crossref, OpenAlex, PubMed, Open Library), so it's grounded in a real record, not made up. Paste a link, DOI, ISBN, or title → get a correct citation in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, or any of 10,000+ styles.
> Then it goes further than a generator: > - **Verify** — paste a bibliography and it checks every reference against real databases, flagging anything it *can't* find, that's mismatched, broken, or retracted. (Perfect for sanity-checking an AI-assisted paper.) > - **Source quality** — tells you if a source is peer-reviewed, a preprint, or just a webpage. > - **Integrity** — checks your writing against the sources you actually cited. > - Plus little things I always wished existed: convert a citation between styles, find a *legal* free PDF of a paywalled paper, and an "explain this citation" mode that teaches you **why** it's formatted the way it is.
> Everything core is **free forever — no sign-up, no ads.** There's dark mode and a dyslexia-friendly font too.
> I'm a solo maker and this is very much a labor of love. I'd genuinely love your feedback, your best citation-tool horror story, and any styles or features you want me to add
