Where was this tool when I wrote my bachelors diploma paper?!?!? 42 citations... I still have nightmares.
You are absolutely right - citation is the number one way to prove the credibility of the written word and to gain the well deserved trust of its readers.
Naturally, any tool that helps to ease the process (and let's be honest, writing out citations by hand according to all the style guides can be a pain in bass).
I applaud your philosophy on basing one's truths on facts rather than flashy headlines and stupid "unnamed research showed this and that" - something that, regretably, our media and news outlets lack very much.
Great work, lads!
