Which citation styles does the tool support?

The tool supports APA 7th Edition, MLA 9th Edition, Chicago (Author-Date and Notes-Bibliography), Harvard, and IEEE, among more than ten widely used styles.

Can I auto-fill a citation using a DOI or URL?

Yes. Paste a DOI or URL and the tool fetches the source metadata automatically, populating the fields and generating the citation for you.

How accurate are the generated citations?

The formatter applies each style's rules with high accuracy, but you should always do a final review, especially for unusual source types or institution-specific guidelines.

Can I format multiple references at once?

Yes. Use the batch input feature to add multiple sources in one session and format them all at the same time.

How do I add the formatted references to my Word document?

Use the Export button to download a .docx file, or copy the references and paste them directly into Word, Google Docs, or any text editor.

Is the tool really free?

Completely free. No subscription, no account, no hidden limits.

What if my source type is not listed?

Select the closest matching type and manually adjust the generated citation using the style guide for your institution.
