Citations built from real metadata

Paste a URL, DOI or ISBN, or search by title or keywords. ZeroTell looks the source up in Crossref, Open Library or the page's own metadata, shows you every field to check, and formats it with the published CSL style definitions. Fields it could not find are flagged instead of guessed.

Citation conventions can vary by institution or publication. Review the result against your style guide before submitting your work.
