Source Citations

Every source with sufficient metadata (title + authors or year) shows a citation section. Switch between 6 styles instantly. Copy any format with one click. BibTeX available for LaTeX workflows.

Inline Citations in AI Outputs

When Kognific generates synthesis, answers questions, or drafts text, it includes inline citations referencing your actual sources, not hallucinated references. Click any citation to see the source.

Project Citation Style

Set a default citation style for each project. Synthesis outputs and draft bibliographies use this style automatically. Change it anytime. The formatting updates across all outputs.

BibTeX Export

Export citations as BibTeX entries with auto-generated citation keys. Handles duplicate authors automatically. Citation types are matched to your source format: journal article, conference paper, book, and more.

Auto-Generated Bibliography

When you export a draft, Kognific generates a bibliography from all cited sources in your project's citation style. Included automatically in Markdown, Word, and LaTeX exports.

Citation Accuracy

Citations are generated from the metadata you provide: title, authors, year, journal, volume, pages, DOI. The more complete your metadata, the more accurate the citation. Edit any field from the source detail page.
