Paste BibTeX, RIS, or plain-text references and reformat the entire bibliography into APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago, Harvard, AMA, ACS, or any CSL style — all at once, no manual cleanup.
Tip: paste up to 100 entries at once. Plain-text references should be separated by blank lines. Try an example:
The Bulk Citation Converter handles every direction between major styles — and any of the 10,000+ CSL styles in between. A few of the most common conversions writers run into:
Switching disciplines or moving from a humanities course to a
social-science journal? Paste your MLA Works Cited list (in plain
text, BibTeX, or RIS) and the converter rewrites every entry as
APA 7 — author initials, sentence-case titles, italicized journal
names, and full https://doi.org/ links — in one click.
Going the other way? Drop in your APA reference list and get a properly formatted MLA 9 Works Cited, with full first names, title case, and the MLA container model applied to journals, anthologies, and websites.
Chicago notes-and-bibliography and Chicago author-date entries both convert cleanly to APA 7. The tool also handles APA → Chicago for history, theology, and humanities papers that require notes-and-bib formatting.
Harvard and APA share an author-date system but differ in punctuation, ampersand use, and DOI formatting. Paste a Harvard reference list to get a clean APA 7 version — or convert APA to Harvard if your institution uses the Harvard variant.
Export from Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, or Google Scholar and paste
the file contents directly. The converter auto-detects BibTeX
(@article) and RIS (TY - JOUR) and
renders them in your target style.
