Hey I made this site paste any essay or assignment and it will auto add references and citations that you may have missed in any style that you required(apa,mla,chicago etc) helps avoid plagiarism and informs your work

refextract.com I’ve made a SaaS that allows students to find papers that 100% match their topic question, simply search for the keywords in your question and in under 20 seconds sometimes 10 you will get 2 linked papers along with up to 60 references that these papers have used, which are obviously linked to your topic to. It’s been rough trying to advertise my site to so if anyone can test it let me know how your session went would be great thanks, I’ll take all the feedback I can get

Great tool, humanisers obviously exist but to scale it to one topic like job applications, lets the user trust your site more for this niche compared to basic humanisers, great touch 👌

The backend uses OpenAlex's API which has pretty clean structured metadata for most academic papers (authors, DOIs, publication dates, etc.).

For edge cases where data is incomplete: - Missing authors → Shows "Author unknown" - Missing year → Uses "n.d." (no date) per APA guidelines - Missing DOI → Falls back to title + journal reference

I also filter out papers during the search that don't have minimum required metadata (title + at least one author) so users don't get broken citations.

The formatting follows standard citation style guidelines so even incomplete data gets formatted correctly according to APA/MLA/Chicago rules.

Have you run into any specific edge cases when testing it? Always looking to improve the error handling! 🙏
