Built for the messy reality of academic writing.
Eight major styles
APA 7, APA 6, IEEE, Chicago 17, MLA 9, Vancouver, Harvard, Turabian — toggle between them and the AI re-formats every entry consistently.
In-text + bibliography together
Convert just the reference list, just the in-text citations, or both at once. Output stays internally consistent.
Typography handled
Italics on journal titles, en-dashes in page ranges, sentence vs title case, DOI prefixes — the small things reviewers notice are correct.
et al. threshold per style
APA 7 uses et al. for 3+ authors in-text; Chicago author-date for 4+. The right threshold is applied automatically.
Mixed source types
Handles journal articles, books, book chapters, conference papers, theses, datasets, preprints, and websites in one pass.
Markdown or plain text out
Output preserves the formatting cues you'll need when pasting into Word or LaTeX.
Three steps. No setup. No template hunting.

Quick answers before you start.
- What input formats work?
Any plain text. BibTeX, RIS, Word-pasted text, copy-paste from Google Scholar. AI handles the parsing.
- Does it check accuracy?
For accuracy checking (missing refs, uncited entries), use the Citation Checker tool. Citation Manager focuses on reformatting.
- Can I get a DOCX download?
Yes — the output includes a Download as Word (.docx) button with proper formatting preserved.
- Is my text sent anywhere?
Your text is sent to the Anthropic Claude API for processing and is not stored. See the Privacy Policy for details.
- Will it invent citations?
No. It only reformats what you paste. If a field is missing in the source, it stays missing — flagged in the output.
- What about non-English titles?
Preserved as-is. Diacritics, transliteration, and capitalization rules are respected for the target style.
