DOI-first is the accurate way to cite

Hand-typed BibTeX entries drift: wrong page ranges, mangled author lists, missing DOIs. Fetching from CrossRef gives you the metadata the publisher deposited — the same source reference managers like Zotero use. Paste the DOI from the paper's landing page and you're done in seconds.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get BibTeX from a DOI?
Paste the DOI (or the full doi.org link) above — we query CrossRef's official transform endpoint and hand you the publisher's own BibTeX. That's the most accurate source available: no scraping, no guessing.
The DOI wasn't found — why?
CrossRef covers most journals and conference proceedings, but not everything (some books, preprints and datasets register elsewhere). Use the manual form for those — it emits clean, correctly-quoted BibTeX for articles, books, conference papers and websites.
Where does this citation data come from?
Directly from CrossRef, the DOI registration agency publishers themselves deposit metadata into. Your browser talks to CrossRef directly — we never see your queries.
What happens to my files?
Uploads are used only to run your conversion and stored briefly so you can download results. Client-side tools (table generator, BibTeX) never upload anything at all. We don't share files or train on them.
