Overview
Select a sentence in your document and cytado finds a verified academic publication that supports it — with the printed page number and a short quote from that exact page. One click inserts a proper Google Docs footnote.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
• Printed page numbers: we read publications page by page, preserving the edition's original numbering — "p. 82" really is page 82.
• Zero invented sources: only existing publications with a link to the original. When nothing supports a claim, you get an honest "not found".
• Document privacy: cytado receives only the sentence you submit and your thesis topic — never the rest of your document, never your Drive files.

FOR WHOM
Bachelor's and master's theses, PhDs, journal articles, term papers — in English and Polish (German sources too).

PRICING
The add-on and account are free; the free pool is 100 resolved citations a month, no card. Paid plans from $19/month. A miss is always free.
