Find the papers, write the paper, cite them in one click.
CiteTeX is a free LaTeX editor with a paper search and a reference library, made for students and researchers.
Everything a paper needs, in one place
Search six databases at once
OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, Crossref, Europe PMC and CORE in one search: up to 100 papers, with free PDFs where they exist, and a short summary that cites what it found.
Cite in one click
Send a paper to your library and your .bib with a correct BibTeX entry. \cite keys complete themselves as you type.
Write LaTeX together
The PDF beside the source, live editing with your co-authors, sharing by link or email as editor or viewer, and errors explained in plain words.
Helpers that check your work
Small "Dot bots" flag LaTeX mistakes, outdated commands, unused or duplicate references, and grammar and spelling as you write.
Nothing is lost
Automatic version history for every project: compare and restore any earlier state, and download everything as a .zip.
Use it from Claude
Connect CiteTeX to Claude and let it search papers, edit your project and fix compile errors, with your own Claude plan.
Learn as you go
Short LaTeX guides for math, figures, tables, citations and journal templates. Every example opens as a project you can compile.
Arabic and right-to-left
Write Arabic with English freely in the same document; CiteTeX sets up the right engine and fonts for you.
Real papers, real references
Every result comes from a scholarly database, with its DOI, authors, venue and citation count. The BibTeX entries are built from those records, so the references in your paper point to papers that exist.
Read the abstract and a short summary without leaving CiteTeX, open the free PDF when there is one, and save what matters to your library.
Free to use
Projects, paper search, the library, collaboration and the LaTeX compiler are free. The AI assistant is included with a daily limit; add your own Anthropic key, or use CiteTeX from Claude, to go beyond it.
