"ZoteroBib is a simplified site for generating citations and bibliographies. Users can generate citations automatically by searching for a publication; pasting a URL, ISBN, DOI, or other publication ID in the search bar; or manual entering a citation. Once the citation is generated, there's a drop-down menu that allows the citation to be converted to 9,000 styles, with the most popular (MLA, APA, and Chicago) conveniently at the top of the list. Auto-generated entries can also be edited for accuracy. After generating citations and assembling them into a bibliography, users can download the bibliography, copy it (clipboard and HTML), or create a URL.ZoteroBib is super intuitive, but it isn't perfect. If students are searching for sources, they're not always going to find what they're looking for -- especially compared to more established sites. Also, some websites don't seem to work when you paste the URL in the citation generator. Still, the manual editing and entry feature means anything can be cited if students put in the work. The support for all kinds of different media -- from artwork to podcasts to audio recordings -- and the thousands of styles mean students have tons of options. There's no option for tweets or snaps yet, but the "blog post" and "instant message" options will likely do the trick." (source)
