Our Personal OpinionOur Personal Opinion

Cite U Like is excellent if you want to store peer reviewed scholarly articles and keep them organized rather than in your browser’s bookmarks.

If you try and store other web sites, it will say that the URL wasn’t found. It only supports peer reviewed journals from certain databases

Cite U Like will be useful if a teacher is asking for peer reviewed journals ONLY!

What surprised us…

Can’t just bookmark any website

Good intentions but hard to get the hang of as a first time user

Bookmark button on the top makes it easier to sort

Option on side, narrows down topics you are interested in

Do we recommend it?

If you like to keep your research articles organized

-more useful for students who write papers

ex: history majorsEnglish majors
