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.

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. Upload your Word file (.docx).
  3. Click “Convert”. Each entry is matched to its real record, then citations and references are rewritten in the chosen style.
  4. Download the converted Word file.

Use your target journal's style

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

Each entry is first matched to its real record in academic databases; missing fields (DOI, issue, pages) are filled in from the record. Entries that cannot be matched are kept as written, and the result tells you how many.
