ReferenceIt

Making referencing better.

Paste anything: a link, a DOI, an ISBN, or a messy reference copied from a PDF. ReferenceIt works out what it is, keeps it, and hands it back in whichever style your module asks for: Harvard, APA, MLA, IEEE, Vancouver, OSCOLA and more.

How it works

Paste it once, cite it everywhere

  1. Paste anything

    A link, a DOI, an ISBN, a PubMed or arXiv ID, or a whole reference. We work out the type and fill in the details, and show you where each one came from.

  2. Formatted in your style

    Pick your style once. Every reference is shown formatted, with its in-text citation beside it. Switch style whenever your module does.

  3. Copy into your essay

    Copy a reference with its italics intact, add a page to the in-text citation, or download a whole bibliography as a Word document.

In your pocket, in the library

Scan a book’s barcode, snap a printed reference list, or share a page straight to ReferenceIt. It saves offline and syncs when you’re back.
