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.
