What is the DataCite Citation Formatter?

The Citation Formatter takes the metadata description of a DOI and uses the information to build a citation following more than 5,000 citation styles made available by the citationstyles.org project.

The service works with DOIs from Crossref, mEDRA and ISTIC in addition to DataCite DOIs.

Who can use the DataCite Citation Formatter?

The Citation Formatter is open to the whole community. It is particularly designed for researchers to build reference lists under a convenient, simple and effective interface.
