Match your target journal's style
Most medical journals use AMA or Vancouver; many nursing and allied-health journals use APA. Check the journal's author guidelines before you submit.
Always verify against the source
Auto-generated references can miss an author, page range or accent. Open the original article and confirm every field.
Keep DOIs in your references
A DOI makes your citation permanent and clickable. Prefer the DOI over a plain URL wherever one exists.
Use a reference manager for big papers
For a full manuscript, export BibTeX into Zotero, Mendeley or EndNote so numbering and formatting stay consistent.
Free tool for education. References are generated from public Crossref and Europe PMC / PubMed metadata and may contain errors — always check them against the original article and your journal's style guide.
