The primary reasons why MyBib may not be working include server outages or technical issues on their side, which have caused problems like inability to log in, disappearing references, or pages not loading properly. Some users recently experienced MyBib's servers being down or unresponsive, leading to lost citations and delays in access, especially when under tight deadlines. Solutions mentioned include trying to access MyBib through a VPN set to certain locations, but mainly users have been advised to back up their citations elsewhere due to the platform's instability. The official MyBib status page and third-party monitoring sites often report short outages or performance degradation, which could cause intermittent disruptions. Common issues reported by users involve:
- Server crashes or downtime
- Citations not showing or disappearing temporarily
- Problems with login or page loading
- Lack of timely communication about fixes
If MyBib is "not working" right now, it is likely related to ongoing server or technical issues on their end, which may resolve once their service is restored or maintenance is completed. Checking the official MyBib status page or reliable third-party status monitoring can help confirm current outage status. Users are also recommended to keep backups of citations locally as a precaution.
