Copy \cite{} Command

Copy the LaTeX \cite{} command for any reference directly from the detail card

Click once to copy a ready-to-paste \cite{} command for any reference in your workspace. Switch between your LaTeX editor and BibForge, grab the cite key, and keep writing — no typing citation keys by hand, no typos.

\parencite{} and \textcite{} may require BibLaTeX: \usepackage[backend=biber,style=authoryear]{biblatex}. \citet{}, \citeauthor{} and \citeyear{} may require natbib: \usepackage{natbib} with \bibliographystyle{plainnat}. Rendered output depends on your chosen package and citation style — the examples below show typical defaults.

How to use

Open the reference detail card

Click any reference in your workspace to open its detail card.

Choose a cite style and copy

Select a cite style from the dropdown and click Copy. BibForge supports all standard BibLaTeX cite commands:

\cite{Smith2021}         →  [1]
\parencite{Smith2021}    →  (Smith2021)
\textcite{Smith2021}     →  Smith2021
\citet{Smith2021}        →  Smith (2021)
\citeauthor{Smith2021}   →  Smith
\citeyear{Smith2021}     →  2021

Paste into your LaTeX document

Switch to your editor and paste wherever the citation belongs. The key matches exactly the citation key in your exported .bib file, so it compiles without adjustment.
