How is Grafiati better than Citation Machine?
Citation Machine is one of the great number of international services using the same open-source code producing the same results as Zotero, Mendeley, Citethisforme, etc. The quality of this code has major flaws and leads to errors in citations.
At the core of Grafiati lies a totally different approach: we develop all citation algorithms based on scrupulous research, analysis of style manuals, and communication with institutions. Our code is custom, unique, and flexible, which allows us reaching a completely new level of quality.
So, why us and not Citationmachine?
- We have a much more detailed and accurate system of references and in-text citations for the most popular citation styles.
- Our generators avoid the errors of the APA Citation Machine, MLA Citation Machine, Chicago Citation Machine, and other Citation Machine generators.
- We offer a sophisticated real-time references ordering system in accordance with each particular citation style (check how this is done in APA, MLA, or Chicago Style).
- We format the bibliography based on your chosen style’s requirements and allow you exporting it to paste directly into your paper.
- We offer the adaptation of references for every country: from the translation of references based on the language of your bibliography to legal citations detached from the US templates.
- In contrast to the free Citation Machine generator, we offer many tools to help boost the quality of your list of references: word case analyser, transliterator, website metadata retrieval, and so on.
- We are open to all customers and develop the service based on the needs of our customers (we can do it, as we are not confined by the limits of the open-source code used by Citationmachine).
- You can use most of our features for free or purchase one of our premium packages at much more reasonable prices compared to Citation Machine®.
- We offer top-quality adaptation to all types of devices.
