Formerly pretty good free resource for academic citations now turned into a giant pile of steamy hot garbage by the incredible asswipes at Chegg, a corporate name that mostly calls forth the image of a debilitating sexually transmitted infection.

Pro tip: use zotero. Its an open-source bibliography program, you can export the entire bibliography at once in whatever format you want.
Such a godsend! Especially the auto detection features. Just drop the PDF into it and it finds everything needed for a correction citation. I wish website citations would be better tho
What the heck, people use apps for bibliographies now? FFS, just write it yourself.

And it’s an important tool in your academia toolbox.
There’s like 50 of these. If one enshittifies, jump to another.
