PMID to BibTeX Converter

Paste a PMID (the 8-digit PubMed identifier shown under any article title) into CiteMe. The tool queries PubMed for the article record and returns a clean BibTeX @article entry with author, title, journal, year, volume, issue, pages, and DOI.

On any PubMed article page, the PMID appears directly under the title (e.g., "PMID: 38123456"). It is also visible in PubMed search results and in citation widgets on most life sciences journal websites.

Yes. The output is standard BibTeX. Paste the @article entry into your Overleaf .bib file and cite it in your document with \cite{key}. No post-processing needed.

PMID to Citation returns a formatted reference in styles like APA, MLA, Vancouver, or Harvard — ready to paste into a manuscript body. PMID to BibTeX returns a structured @article record for LaTeX bibliographies, reference managers, and .bib files.

Keep it. The pmid field is recognized by JabRef, Zotero, Mendeley, and biomedical-aware LaTeX classes. Some bibliography styles (like medstyle.bst) print PMIDs in the rendered references — useful for systematic reviews and clinical guidelines.

This page handles one PMID per request. For batch PubMed conversion — useful when exporting a systematic-review reference list — use the PubMed Import tool, which accepts pasted lists or NBIB/MEDLINE files and outputs multi-entry .bib content.

CiteMe reflects PubMed’s current record. If the paper is flagged as retracted or has an erratum, that status is included in the metadata when PubMed exposes it. Always check the article’s PubMed page directly before citing in a clinical or systematic-review context.
