Frequently asked questions

How do I add a DOI to my bibliography?
Paste the DOI into CiteMe, select your citation style, and copy the formatted bibliography entry. The entry includes all fields required by your style: authors, year, title, journal, volume, pages, and DOI link.
Can I generate multiple bibliography entries from DOIs?
Yes. Search one DOI at a time and build your bibliography entry by entry. For bulk DOI conversion, use the Bulk Import tool which accepts multiple DOIs at once.
What is the difference between a citation and a bibliography entry?
A citation is the brief reference in your text (e.g., Smith, 2024), while a bibliography entry is the full reference at the end of your paper with all publication details. This tool generates the full bibliography entry from a DOI.
