Review summary

BibItNow! is a highly convenient Firefox add-on praised for saving time and simplifying citation imports, especially via RIS exports compatible with popular reference managers. Users appreciate its ease of use and cross-browser support. However, common issues include inaccuracies in exported citation dates, limited customization of citation formats, and missing features like XML export for Word. Despite some need for manual corrections, it greatly enhances the reference collection process by streamlining citation acquisition from websites.

Pros

Saves significant time when collecting and importing citations.
Supports exporting citations in RIS format compatible with many reference managers.
Easy and convenient to use with minimal clicks, improving workflow efficiency.
Works well across multiple browsers like Firefox and Chrome.
Effectively imports references directly from websites into reference managers.

Cons

RIS export incorrectly adds day and month to publication year, causing confusion for citation managers.
Lacks options to edit or customize citation export formats and reference styles.
Automatically defaults date to 2022 without specifying the exact date, which might be inaccurate.
Inability to export XML documents compatible with Microsoft Word.
Some manual adjustments are needed after export to comply with citation standards (e.g., APA 7).

2024-04-24	go*****	Would be great if it allowed editing the export citation formats. As it stands now, its RIS export adds a day and month to the publication year which confuses my citation manager and it cannot input the correct year.
