How do I create many citations at once?

Paste each DOI, PMID, ISBN, arXiv ID, or URL on its own line, or separate identifiers with commas, semicolons, tabs, or CSV columns. You can also upload TXT, CSV, TSV, XLS, or XLSX files.

Can I upload a spreadsheet?

Yes. CSV and TSV files are read directly. XLS and XLSX files are supported in browsers when the spreadsheet parser loads; otherwise, export the sheet as CSV and upload that file.

Which bibliography formats can I export?

Bulk results can be copied as a formatted bibliography and downloaded as plain text, BibTeX, RIS, CSL-JSON, Markdown, or HTML.

Bulk Citation Generator

Paste a list of DOIs, PMIDs, URLs, ISBNs, or arXiv IDs, or upload a TXT, CSV, TSV, XLS, or XLSX file. LumaCite turns the batch into a complete bibliography with export-ready BibTeX, RIS, CSL-JSON, Markdown, and HTML.

Up to 250 inputs per batch

Direct input

+ Drop files here or browse TXT, CSV, TSV, XLS, or XLSX. Put identifiers in any column.

Lines

Best for DOI, PMID, ISBN, arXiv, and URL lists copied from notes or a paper draft.

Semicolons

Use 10.1000/abc; PMID 123456; 978... when your list is compact.

CSV

Paste or upload tables. LumaCite scans every cell for citation-like values.

Excel

XLS and XLSX work when the browser spreadsheet parser is available. CSV is the fallback.

Bulk citation workflow

Built for messy research lists

Page 09 is for the moments when one-at-a-time lookup is too slow: reading lists, systematic review seeds, class bibliographies, publisher URL batches, and notes full of mixed identifiers.

For students

Paste the links and IDs you collected during research and export one clean bibliography block.

For librarians

Convert reading-list spreadsheets into APA, MLA, Chicago, or Vancouver references for guides.

For research teams

Resolve DOI, PMID, ISBN, and URL batches before moving references into Zotero or EndNote.

What can I paste into the bulk citation generator?

Use DOI, PMID, PubMed URL, ISBN, arXiv ID, arXiv URL, publisher URL, or mixed lists. Separate inputs with new lines, semicolons, commas, tabs, or CSV cells.

Can I upload CSV or Excel files?

Yes. CSV and TSV are parsed directly in the browser. XLS and XLSX are supported when the spreadsheet parser loads successfully; exporting Excel to CSV is the most reliable fallback.

Does the batch preserve my original order?

Yes. Keep input order by default, or sort the resolved bibliography by author/title or newest publication year first.
