Questions about this tool

Which citation styles does it support?
APA, Harvard, Vancouver, Chicago, MLA, IEEE and other common styles.
Does it check that my source exists?
No. Formatting only: it arranges the details you provide into the style you choose; it does not verify the source. Checking that a reference is real remains your job, and no formatter can do it for you.
Is this tool free?
Yes. It is part of the research-literacy layer of Bizarus, which stays free permanently. No account, no sign-up, no usage limit.
Does anything I type leave my browser?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server or stored after you close the page.
Can I print the formatted reference?
Yes. Format the reference, then use the Print button. The page prints only the formatted reference, cleanly, on white.

Formatting is the last problem a review has.

The one before it is knowing which sources survived screening and why. The workspace tracks that from search through to the themes each source supports or contradicts.

This tool stays free permanently, with or without an account. That is a commitment, not a trial.
