How it works
- 1. Paste a DOI or link. A DOI looks like
10.1037/xhp0000100. A doi.org URL or a publisher link that contains a DOI works too. - 2. We look it up. The tool fetches the work's metadata from CrossRef: authors, title, journal, year, volume, issue, and pages.
- 3. Copy your citation. Switch between BibTeX, RIS, and five reference styles, then copy the one you need.
BibTeX and RIS, for any reference manager
BibTeX is the citation format LaTeX uses, and RIS is the tag format EndNote, Mendeley, Zotero, and RefWorks import. Copy the BibTeX block straight into your .bib file, or save the RIS output and import it into your manager. For a deeper walk through the styles and when to use each, read the guide on citation styles and management.
Questions
- How do I turn a DOI into a citation?
- Paste the DOI (for example 10.1037/xhp0000100) or a doi.org link into the box and select Get citation. The tool looks the work up in CrossRef and formats it in BibTeX, RIS, and five reference styles.
- Is the citation generator free?
- Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign-up, and places no limit on how many citations you generate.
- Which citation styles are supported?
- BibTeX and RIS for reference managers, plus formatted references in APA 7th edition, Harvard, Chicago author-date, IEEE, and Vancouver.
- Can I cite a web page without a DOI?
- Yes. Paste the article link and the tool builds a web-page citation from the page itself. Because there is no DOI, confirm the author and publication year by hand before you rely on it.
