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.

Batch bibliography builder

Generate a bibliography from many identifiers

Paste or upload a mixed list of DOIs, PMIDs, ISBNs, arXiv IDs, PubMed links, and article URLs. LumaCite detects each source, skips duplicates, reports unresolved rows, and prepares a clean bibliography for export.

Start a batch Generate one citation

Import list Resolve sources Review rows Export bibliography

Control panel

Start from the list you already have

Paste messy notes, upload a table, or combine both. The parser scans every line and file cell for citation-like values.

Up to 250 inputs per batch

Identifiers, links, or table rows

+ Drop files here or browse TXT, CSV, TSV, XLS, or XLSX. Identifiers can live in any column.

Lines

Best for lists copied from notes, paper drafts, course guides, or reference emails.

Semicolons

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

CSV

Paste or upload tables. LumaCite scans visible cells for source identifiers and URLs.

Excel

XLS and XLSX work when the spreadsheet parser loads. CSV stays the safest fallback.

Review before export

See what resolved, what duplicated, and what needs attention

Bulk citation work is rarely clean on the first pass. LumaCite keeps the batch report visible so you can separate strong records from unresolved rows before sending the bibliography elsewhere.

Mixed source lists

Combine DOI, PMID, ISBN, arXiv, PubMed, and article URLs in one batch without sorting them first.

Duplicate and failure reporting

Keep duplicate counts and unresolved rows in view so the final export does not hide weak records.

Reference manager handoff

Export formatted bibliographies, BibTeX, RIS, CSL-JSON, Markdown, HTML, or a review report.

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.
