FAQ
Input and batch processing
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.

Files and spreadsheets
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.

Review and export
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.
