Cite it. Free.
Paste a link, a DOI or an ISBN and get the reference in APA, MLA, Harvard, Chicago or IEEE, with the in-text citation next to it. Copy keeps the italics.
Citation tools used to be free until they got bought. This one stays free. No sign-in, nothing uploaded except the lookup you click.
Add a source
A web address, a DOI (10.xxxx/...) or an ISBN. We work out which.

References
Google Docs or Word: Copy list, then paste. Italics and the hanging indent come along. The .rtf opens in Word and Pages, and Google Docs will import it (File, Open, Upload). The .bib is BibTeX for LaTeX, Zotero and Overleaf. In MLA and Chicago, add the page number inside the in-text brackets yourself, e.g. (Tan and Lim 12).
Which style, and what we assume
APA 7th for psychology, education, sciences. MLA 9th for English and humanities. Harvard here is the Cite Them Right version, used by many UK and Commonwealth universities; your school may have its own house style. Chicago 17th in both flavours: author-date, and notes and bibliography (the footnote form is shown with each entry). IEEE for engineering and computing, numbered in citation order.
Titles are kept the way you typed them, except the first letter; APA wants sentence case and MLA/Chicago want Title Case, so use the two buttons under the title field, and fix names yourself. Details and every assumption are in RULES.md.
Lookups: DOIs go to Crossref, ISBNs to Open Library, links to our server (which reads the page once, keeps only the title and other metadata, and never your text). Your list is saved in this browser only.
