Method and supported scope

This tool uses CSE citation-sequence. Citation-name uses the same end-reference format but a different list ordering; name-year deliberately remains out of scope. Journal abbreviations must be entered by the user.

Supported source types are journal article, book, and webpage. Titles remain as entered; the tool does not invent capitalization, journal abbreviations, missing authors, or dates.

Authoritative style source

Limits and review

Institutional and journal adaptations can differ. Confirm the requested edition, system, source type, title capitalization, abbreviation, punctuation, and unusual authorship before submission.

DOIs are normalized to a bare DOI or resolver URL as required by this implementation. Civil dates are handled as entered without timezone conversion.

Worked example

Enter Jane Q. Smith, a journal article title, Example Journal, 2026, volume 12, issue 3, pages 40–48, and DOI 10.1000/example. The generated reference changes author order and punctuation according to Scientific Style and Format, 8th edition.
