BibTeX to APA
How to format BibTeX in APA style
- Paste or open your .bib, .ris or .json file.
- Choose the citation style and the language.
- Copy the formatted references as rich text, plain text or Markdown.
Formatted with Citation Style Language (CSL)
References are formatted with Citation Style Language styles, the same rules Zotero and Mendeley use, including author lists, et al., editions, DOIs and italics.
For essays written without LaTeX
Keep your references in BibTeX and still hand in a Word or Google Docs essay: copy as rich text and the italics arrive intact.
