Step 2

Verify the paper

CiteMe shows the matched reference. Confirm title and authors are correct before copying.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a DOI to BibTeX?
Paste the DOI or doi.org URL into CiteMe. The tool queries CrossRef and returns a BibTeX entry with @article (or @book, @inproceedings) type, plus author, title, journal, volume, issue, pages, year, and doi fields.
Can I paste a doi.org link directly?
Yes. Paste the full URL (https://doi.org/10.xxxx/xxxx) or just the DOI identifier (10.xxxx/xxxx). CiteMe normalises the input automatically. Also handles dx.doi.org links from older publications.
What BibTeX entry types are generated?
CiteMe detects the source type from CrossRef metadata: @article for journal papers, @book for monographs, @inproceedings for conference papers, and @misc for other types. The entry type follows the CrossRef record.
How is the citation key generated?
CiteMe generates a citation key from first author surname + year + first content word of the title (e.g. smith2024genome). The key is unique per entry and safe to use directly in your LaTeX \cite{} calls.
Where does the metadata come from?
CrossRef — the canonical DOI registry. Whatever the publisher registered when the DOI was minted is what CiteMe returns: authoritative authors, title, journal, volume, issue, pages, year, and the DOI itself.
