Academic Reference Formats
Academic publishing relies on standardized citation formats for exchanging bibliographic data between reference managers, databases, and publishing systems.
BibTeX
BibTeX is the standard format for LaTeX bibliography management. Used extensively in academic publishing, especially in STEM fields. Each entry has a type (article, book, inproceedings) and fields like author, title, year, and journal.
RIS (Research Information Systems)
RIS is a tagged format used by many reference managers including EndNote, Mendeley, and Zotero. It uses two-letter tags (TY, AU, TI) to identify fields, making it easy to parse programmatically.
MARC (Machine-Readable Cataloging)
MARC is the international standard for library catalog records. Used by libraries worldwide, MARC21 encodes bibliographic, authority, and holdings data in a structured binary or XML format.
Format Conversion Use Cases
Researchers often need to convert between formats: importing citations into different reference managers, preparing bibliographies for journals with specific requirements, or migrating between research tools.
Privacy for Research Data
Your bibliographic data stays private. All conversion happens locally in your browser—no citations or research metadata are transmitted to external servers.
