You're finalising a grant, not curating a reference library. You want citations that match the required style, stay consistent, and copy cleanly into your application, in seconds.
Scholar Sidekick is built for that moment.
How it works
- Paste anything - a DOI, ISBN, PMID, arXiv ID, or URL
- Get a formatted citation instantly
- Copy it straight into grant text, supporting documents, or a reference list
No importing. No syncing. No database to maintain.
The right tool for the job
Reference managers are excellent for manuscripts and long-term projects. For grant writing, you often just need a small set of references to behave - without extra setup.
If you wouldn't bother adding it to a library, Scholar Sidekick is probably the right tool.
Scholar Sidekick is best for
- Grant applications and resubmissions
- Supporting documents and reference lists
- Rapid formatting of a small set of key citations
- Copying citations into Word, PDFs, and online portals
What you get
- Stateless - nothing to clean up later
- Deterministic - the same input always gives the same output
- Style-complete - over 10,800 CSL citation styles
- Format-first exports:
- Plain text
- BibTeX
- CSL JSON
- CSV
- RIS
- EndNote (Refer, XML)
- RefWorks
- MEDLINE
- Zotero RDF
It fits naturally into grant writing, not long-term library management.
