How does citation formatting work?

  1. 01Paste in the messy references

    Drop your whole reference list in — out of order, uneven punctuation, English/Japanese/Chinese mixed; the tool parses each one.

  2. 02Pick the target format

    Choose one of APA / MLA / Chicago / Vancouver; selecting it highlights the matching official style-guide link on the right.

  3. 03Reformat by the rules

    The tool rebuilds each entry to the target format's rules — author separators, year position, punctuation, numbering — handling Japanese and English entries by their own rules, using only the facts you gave.

  4. 04Copy the result

    Output is one entry per line, ready to copy as a consistent list, with the official guide linked for your final pre-submission check.

The tool changes only the order, punctuation, and presentation of supplied fields. It does not invent missing authors, years, pages, or identifiers.

SOURCE-FIELD GUARD

Year and DOI source guard

Chapter03
YEAR / DOI GUARDED

No unsourced year or DOI was detected

The deterministic guard only checks whether output years and DOIs appeared in the supplied text. It does not verify authors, titles, volume and page data, link validity, or whether a source exists.

COUNTEntries separated

The result presents one entry per line for item-by-item checking.

ORDERInput order retained

It is not silently alphabetized; compare it with the original before submitting.

LANGUAGETitle language retained

Formatting does not translate English, Japanese, or Chinese titles.

DOI / YEARYear and DOI guard

No year or DOI absent from the source was detected.

STYLETarget style applied

Authors, years, volume and issue data, pages, and punctuation follow the selected style.

D
GUIDE & USE

Official guide and use

Chapter04
APA 7

Official style guide

The result includes the official guide for the selected style. A school's own template, local rules, or Japanese-source guidance takes priority.

Open the official guide
01

Copy into your document

Copy clean text, then set hanging indents, line spacing, and pagination in Word.

02

Cross-check in-text citations

Confirm every in-text author–date citation appears in the list and every listed source is cited.

03

Open the original source

Verify authors, titles, years, volume and page data, DOIs, and official links item by item.

Result boundary

Consistent formatting only means the style was normalized. It does not certify authenticity, completeness, suitability for citation, or compliance with a school's local rules. You remain responsible for the final submission.

Format your own reference list

Bring your reference list, choose a style, then check the formatted result against the original sources.
