About Citation Scraper

Our Mission

Citation Scraper was created to help researchers, academics, and students efficiently gather academic citations from multiple sources. We understand that literature review is time-consuming, and our tool automates the tedious process of collecting citation data.

What We Do

Our platform automatically searches 10 major academic databases including:

  • Google Scholar - The world's largest academic search engine
  • Semantic Scholar - AI-powered scientific literature search
  • arXiv - Preprints in physics, mathematics, computer science
  • PubMed - Premier biomedical and life sciences database
  • CORE - Open access research papers repository
  • ResearchGate - Academic social network and publications
  • MDPI - Open access scientific journals
  • IEEE Xplore - Engineering and computer science papers
  • SpringerLink - Comprehensive scientific publishing
  • ScienceDirect - Elsevier's scientific database

We collect title, authors, year, citations, abstract, DOI, and PDFs - all formatted and ready for your research. Results are automatically deduplicated across sources with 85% similarity matching and ranked by relevance score for quality results.
