OneDo Hub

Citation Generator

Paste a DOI, ISBN or web address, review the source details, then copy an APA, MLA, IEEE or Harvard citation, an in-text citation or BibTeX.

Works with journal DOIs, book ISBNs and ordinary web pages.

OneDo Hub sends the DOI, ISBN or URL only to retrieve citation metadata. Your edited citation text is formatted in your browser.

How it works

  1. Paste a DOI, ISBN or web address and select Generate citation, or choose Enter details manually.
  2. Review the source details and fill in anything that's missing.
  3. Pick APA 7, MLA 9, IEEE or Harvard (General).
  4. Copy the reference or in-text citation, or copy or download BibTeX.

Check before you submit

Citations are only as good as the details behind them. Publishers and websites sometimes leave out authors or dates, or get them wrong, so look over the source details first. OneDo Hub never makes up missing authors, dates, publishers or page numbers. If something is missing, the citation shows it the way the style asks (for example "n.d." for no date).

Privacy

To find source details, OneDo Hub sends only the DOI, ISBN or URL you enter: DOIs to Crossref (or the DOI system), ISBNs to Open Library, and web addresses to our own lookup service, which reads that one page's public citation details and then discards it. Your edited details, citations and BibTeX are created in your browser and aren't stored. No account is needed and no citation history is kept.

Supported formats

Input: a DOI (10.xxxx/… or a doi.org link), an ISBN-10 or ISBN-13, or a public https:// or http:// web address. Output: APA 7, MLA 9, IEEE and Harvard (General) citations, in-text citations, and BibTeX (.bib).
