Citable

Citable is AI-assisted citation management and research tooling. It organises sources, generates citations and builds bibliographies — the mechanical end of research writing, where the work is not thinking but making sure every claim points at something real and every reference is formatted the way its destination demands.

We track it rather than use it. Our own citation needs are light and mostly handled inline as we write. We list it under research tooling as the option for people whose output has to survive a reference check — academic work, analyst reports, anything where a broken citation reads as a credibility problem rather than a typo.

Zotero is the long-standing open-source default and has the deepest plugin ecosystem. Mendeley has a similar shape. EndNote is what you use when an institution has already decided for you. Paperpile is the pick if your writing lives in Google Docs. For the discovery half — finding what to cite rather than formatting it — Semantic Scholar and Elicit are better starting points. Citable is worth a look when the job is producing correct bibliographies quickly. It is the wrong call if you are building a reference library you expect to keep for a decade; check the export formats before committing a collection to anyone.
