Site-wide Reference Library
Store reusable references in one library with search, filtering, usage tracking, and source-link health.
Reference Manager for WordPress
Manage your references. Publish citations, footnotes, and bibliographies.
Build a site-wide Reference Library in WordPress, add and reuse structured sources while you write, and publish citations, footnotes, tooltips, bibliographies, reference lists, and source lists from the same stored reference data.
Free plugin
A complete reference and citation workflow inside WordPress.
Reference Manager keeps structured source data in WordPress so you can reuse the same reference across posts and render the citation output each article needs without rebuilding the source record.
Source lookup & structured records
Add sources by URL, DOI, ISBN, PubMed ID, title search, or manual entry and keep their metadata as structured reference records.
Import & export
Move references through publishing workflows with BibTeX, RIS, and CSL-JSON import and export.
Citations & bibliographies
Publish inline citations, formatted bibliographies, reference lists, and source lists from the references behind your content.
Footnotes & tooltips
Add numbered footnotes, image footnotes, and contextual tooltips while keeping source information connected to the article.
Citation styles
Use APA, MLA, Chicago Author-Date, Chicago Notes-Bibliography, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, or AMA, with post-level style controls.
Source types & creator metadata
Represent articles, books, chapters, reports, websites, news, datasets, standards, AI/LLM outputs, and other source types with structured creator data.
Glossary
Create reusable glossary terms for definitions and contextual publishing alongside your reference workflow.
Source-link health
Check stored source links for accessibility, redirects, and failures so broken references can be found before they become reference rot.
Reference Manager Pro
Advanced controls for larger publishing workflows.
PremiumPro builds on the free publishing workflow with faster reuse, centralized editing, broader WordPress support, and more control over citation presentation.
Global reference editing
Edit stored reference metadata centrally so corrected source information can be reused across your site.
In-post Reference Library search
Search the existing site-wide library from inside the editor and reuse a stored reference without rebuilding it.

Custom Citation Style Builder
Build custom citation and bibliography formatting templates without changing the structured reference data underneath.

Multi-style switching
Switch citation styles for different publishing requirements without rebuilding the references behind the article.
Citation metadata
