Supported citation styles
Both generators currently format references in APA (7th) and AMA (11th). Harvard style is planned but not available yet.
Where the data comes from
Citations are generated from the CrossRef registry (for DOIs) and the NCBI PubMed database (for PMIDs), so the output reflects the publisher's or index's own recorded metadata — the tool does not invent papers.
Formatting a citation is not the same as verifying it. If you need to check whether a reference is real and consistent with the source record, use LitSource Verify.
