FAQ
Input and parsing
Can I paste references from Word or Google Docs?

Yes. Copy the bibliography or reference section from Word, DOCX text, Google Docs, or a manuscript and paste it into the extractor.

Can this parse RIS and BibTeX?

Yes. The parser detects common RIS tags and BibTeX entries, then converts them into the same editable citation review table.

Can I extract DOI, PMID, ISBN, and arXiv IDs from pasted references?

Yes. Each citation row is scanned for DOI, PMID, PMCID, arXiv, ISBN, ISSN, and URL values before metadata enrichment.

Review and accuracy
What should I do with low-confidence rows?

Open the row, edit the title, authors, year, source, DOI, or URL, then run metadata enrichment again. The score updates after edits.

Can I correct extracted citation fields?

Yes. Compare each record with the original text, edit its fields, and keep your corrections when metadata is checked again.

Export and next steps
Can I export extracted citations to citation managers?

Yes. Download BibTeX, RIS, CSL-JSON, CSV, Markdown, or an audit report for Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, Overleaf, Word, Google Docs, and spreadsheet workflows.

Which export format should I choose?

Use RIS or BibTeX for reference managers, CSL-JSON for structured citation workflows, and CSV or Markdown for spreadsheets and writing tools.
