What BibMe is

Sources can be added through identifier lookup or URL import. Bibliographies and works cited pages can be exported to Google Drive or Microsoft Word. Its Writing Assistant checks grammar, comments on clarity and flow, and offers paraphrasing. A plagiarism checker compares writing with billions of sources and reports the percentage of similar language. Citation guides provide examples and steps for paper formatting, annotated bibliographies, works cited pages, and full or in-text citations. The free account is limited to APA style and saves citations for seven days. BibMe Plus costs $9.95 a month after a three-day trial, with up to 30 Expert Checks per billing period.
