Convert Citation and Reference Style

Upload your Word file and choose a style: in-text citations and the reference list are rewritten in that style. Your page layout is left untouched.

Use your target journal's style

Type the journal name; if its citation style is found, the corrected bibliography follows it.

How to use this tool

Upload a Word file and choose a style: in-text citations and the reference list are rewritten in APA 7, IEEE, Vancouver, Chicago, MLA, a journal’s own style or an uploaded .csl file. Your page layout is not changed.

  1. Choose the target style — or search your journal by name / upload its .csl file.
  2. Paste your reference list, one reference per line — or switch to “Word file” (or drop the file on the card) to convert the citations and references in your .docx.
  3. Click “Convert”. Each entry is matched to its real record; missing fields (DOI, issue, pages) are filled in from the record, then everything is rewritten in the chosen style.
  4. Check the before → after preview, then download the converted Word file (or copy the converted list).
