How it works
Paste an identifier
Drop in a DOI, PubMed ID, ISBN, or web address — or type the details in manually.
We fetch the details
We retrieve source metadata from Crossref, PubMed, and Open Library so you don’t retype it.
Copy your citation
Get the reference and in-text citation in your style, then copy or export to Word, BibTeX, or RIS.
