About KyuCite - Academic Citation Assistant
KyuCite saves hours of tedious citation work by automatically finding and inserting academic references into your LaTeX documents.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. Select text in your Overleaf editor
2. Click "Add Citations"
3. KyuCite identifies claims that need citations, searches for relevant papers, and inserts properly formatted citations with BibTeX entries
KEY FEATURES:
• AI-Powered Citation Detection
Uses advanced LLMs (Gemini or Upstage) to intelligently identify statements, methods, and concepts that require academic references.
• Automatic Paper Search
Searches Semantic Scholar's database of 200M+ papers to find the most relevant and highly-cited sources for your claims.
• One-Click BibTeX Generation
Automatically generates and adds BibTeX entries to your .bib file. No more manual copying from Google Scholar.
• Multiple Citation Styles
Supports \cite{}, \citep{}, \citet{}, \autocite{}, and \parencite{} commands for compatibility with any LaTeX bibliography package.
• Customizable Citation Density
Control how many citations to add - from minimal (key claims only) to comprehensive (cite everything).
• Publication Year Filter
Focus on recent research by filtering papers published after a specific year.
