User reviews

Good: 1. is convenient being an extension 2. makes webpage journal articles easy to cite Bad: 1. the only thing that is easy to cite is journal articles that load as a webpage 2. will not cite PDFs - increasing numbers of documents are PDFs 3. Useless at properly citing government websites eg the Australian Government Therapeutic Goods Administration - the equivalent of the FDA - is cited as "T.G. Administration". 4. Useless at finding dates - many times the year is in the content but cited "n.d" 5. Manual citing takes ages and the categories are insufficient for scientists Recommendation: Use MyBib extension - not perfect but better than Scribbr, on the rarer occasion when manual is needed still use Scrbbr. Reasons for MyBib (does everything Scribbr does plus:) - Cites PDFs - Much more reliable and faster login But MyBib still doesn't cite government sites properly: Therapeutic Goods Administration is "Goods,T."
