The RankmyAI Citation Management Ranking is derived from our Overall ranking, which measures the popularity of AI tools based on three key metrics: website traffic, reviews, and investments. The Overall ranking is calculated as the weighted average of the individual rankings for each of these metrics (for more details, see our Methodology page).

Not all AI tools in this ranking are exclusively focused on citation management, as AI tools and companies often provide multiple services beyond this specific application. This ranking does not assess or indicate the quality, effectiveness, or reliability of the listed AI tools. It is solely based on popularity metrics and should not be interpreted as an endorsement or evaluation of their performance.
