How conversion works

1ParseLocal rules identify authors, dates, titles, publication details, DOI, and URL.
2ReviewCorrect any field the parser could not identify confidently.
3ReformatThe verified fields are rebuilt using the target style’s rules.

How to use this tool

Paste one reference, choose the source type and target style, and parse it. Correct the detected fields before converting. Check the final reference against the original publication.

What to check

Punctuation can make author names, titles and publication details ambiguous. Do not accept an inferred field without checking it.

Does conversion find missing publication details?

Do not assume so. Supply missing facts from the original publication or a reliable bibliographic record before generating the final reference.
