About Citation Styles

Different academic disciplines use different citation styles. Converting between them manually is tedious and error-prone. This tool automates the process.

When to Use Each Style

  • APA: Psychology, education, social sciences
  • MLA: Literature, humanities, arts
  • Chicago: History, some humanities
  • BibTeX: Computer science, engineering (with LaTeX/Typst)

For automatic citation management, TypeTeX handles formatting for you. Import references from Zotero, and TypeTeX converts them to any style on export.
