Reference formatting

Citation to IEEE Converter

Paste a scholarly citation in APA, MLA, Chicago, or another common format. The tool identifies its parts and creates both an IEEE reference and a BibTeX entry.

How to use it: Paste one complete reference, select Convert, review the extracted details, and copy the IEEE citation or BibTeX entry. Nothing you enter leaves your browser.

Step 1

Paste a citation

Best results come from a complete citation that includes authors, title, publication, year, and page or DOI information.

IEEE result

Your citation

Your formatted IEEE reference will appear here.

Planned next release

Convert directly from a paper link.

The next version will accept a DOI or web link, retrieve the paper’s bibliographic metadata, and create an IEEE reference after giving you a chance to verify the details.
