BibTeX reference and tools

BibTeX is the reference format and bibliography tool for LaTeX. Look up the format, learn how to use it, or convert a DOI into a BibTeX entry.

DOI → BibTeX

Paste one or more DOIs, arXiv IDs, ISBNs or PubMed IDs (or their links), one per line.

Lookups go straight from your browser to the source: doi.org and the registration agency (Crossref, DataCite) for DOIs, Open Library and Google Books for ISBNs, Europe PMC and NCBI for PubMed IDs. bibtex.org does not see or store them.

From source to bibliography

BibTeX keeps references in a plain-text database. You cite entries by key, and a style decides how they are typeset. Hover over a field to see where it ends up.
