How MACg's Automatic Citation Generator Works

  • Automatic Extraction of Citation Data: MACg extracts the necessary information for AMA, APA, and MLA citation formats when you upload a document during chat or directly into your Reference Collection (Library).

  • Automatic In-text Citation Generation: As the AI creates content during chat, it automatically adds in-text citations in the AMA format by default.

  • Compilation of the Full Citation: The full citation is compiled in the chosen format during a chat session. When you create a document in chat, the full citation is sent to the citation generator, and the AI-generated content, including the in-text citations, is sent to the editor.

  • Manage Citations Seamlessly: Use the citation generator to edit, delete, update, or add new citations using predefined fields and functionality.

  • Seamless Integration of the Citation Generator, Chat, and Editor Tools: In the editor, add in-text citations to any section of the document by placing your cursor in the desired section and selecting cite in the citation generator. You can also delete citations and drag in-text citations to another section of the document. The tool automatically rearranges the order of citations when paragraphs or citations are rearranged, and you refresh the page.

  • Create a Reference or Work Cited List (Bibliography): Create a reference list of all the citations in the document in AMA, APA, or MLA format by clicking the “Insert Bibliography” feature in the citation generator.

  • Export your Completed Content: Export your completed and properly cited content to MS Word or PDF from the Work Library.

I used to spend HOURS researching a single article. Drowning in PubMed rabbit holes, juggling 15+ tabs for every project, switching between multiple Google Docs and getting lost in the process. It was beyond exhausting. I was skeptical about using AI in my process after too many garbage outputs, but I gave MACg a shot anyway. I needed an article on ADHD and nutrition, so I said, “why not?”. Within minutes, I had solid research and a pretty solid first draft. After a few quick iterations, my article was publication-ready. Time savings = unmatched. What ultimately sold me: I was able to do everything in one spot…research, prompting, drafting, writing/revisions. No more 15+ tabs for one project. (and a lot fewer headaches) If you want to drastically cut your time and get quality outputs fast, try MACg.

Previously, I relied on EndNote for citation generation, but MACg takes it further by allowing me to pull, cite, store, and manage references all in one platform seamlessly integrated with PubMed. It is designed with medical writers in mind—helping gather information, providing detailed scientific prompts, suggesting and finding relevant references, retaining links, and summarizing content—all within the same dedicated workspace. On top of that, the in-built editor makes refining content simple and efficient.
