Why students use Koke as their citation generator
A typical citation maker only formats a reference you already have. Koke also helps you find the source and confirm it is real.
Citations built from real records
The citation generator builds each citation from publication metadata in OpenAlex and Crossref, so the title, authors, year and DOI match the published paper.
