Make your published work easier to cite.
Cite This Article adds clear authorship, ready-to-use article citations, citation exports, and citation-aware metadata to WordPress posts so readers can identify, cite, and save your work more reliably.
Your article can be authoritative and still be awkward to cite.
A reader who wants to cite a WordPress article may have to reconstruct its authors, publication title, date, and URL by hand. Cite This Article uses the article’s resolved authors and publication metadata to present a consistent citation that readers can copy or export.
Cite This Article connects WordPress authorship to the article citation.
Cite This Article resolves manual authors, supported author integrations, or the standard WordPress post author. The same resolved author collection drives both the author-box presentation and the article citation, while visual bios, names, and images remain separately customizable.
The free plugin handles authorship, citations, exports, and citation metadata.
Resolve multiple and guest authors
Cite This Article supports multiple authors natively. Authors can come from manual entries, the standard WordPress author, or a supported integration such as Co-Authors Plus. Manual authors can also represent guest contributors without WordPress accounts.
Let readers copy or export the article
The reader-facing citation panel generates a citation for the current article, includes every resolved author, supports one-click copying, and exports the reference as BibTeX, RIS, or CSL-JSON. Cite This Article can also output citation-aware page metadata so reference managers can recognize the article more reliably.
Control placement and content types with Pro
Cite This Article Pro extends the free author and citation system to custom post types and adds per-content-type profiles, advanced placement and targeting, and display or exclusion rules for posts, authors, categories, and taxonomies.
