Built from the real record
A citation generator is only as trustworthy as the metadata behind it. Paste an AI-invented reference and most tools happily format it — correctly styled, plausibly titled, and nonexistent.
AI Humanizer Lab resolves each reference against Crossref and OpenAlex before formatting, so the citation is built from a real indexed record. If the source can’t be found, it says so plainly instead of dressing up a guess.
- APA, MLA, and Chicago from a single input
- Metadata resolved via Crossref and OpenAlex
- Accepts a full reference, a DOI, a URL, or a title
- Honest when a source can’t be verified
