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.

Recommend using instead: https://www.scribbr.com/citation/generator. At least until they also start demanding your firstborn daughter for each citation.

I feel like if you were writing enough to be willing to pay that much it it would be more worth it to just learn to use LaTeX and have it all handled automatically

Latex doesn't auto generate citations though, wdym

Well it will automatically generate the citation, it just won't automatically get the information for it, which has never been an issue for me but thinking about it I can see how it would be sometimes

I think Zotero can generate a file which you can then import into LaTeX with all of the citation details. That's worked very nicely for me in the past.
