Paste it into your document with italics and bold kept. 💡 Why a citation generator in your browser Most cite generator websites make you copy a DOI, switch tabs and paste it into a website. Here the reference is built from the page itself, with journal names abbreviated the way chemistry journals expect. Your reference list looks right the first time. ⭐ Key features of ACS Citation Generator ① One-click cite: reads the reference data of the open article page when you click. ② Identifier lookup: a DOI through CrossRef and a PubMed ID through PubMed. ③ Books by ISBN: title, publisher and year come from Open Library. ④ Manual form: no data on the page? Fill in a short form with the URL and title set. ⑤ Rich-text copy: journal and volume in italics and the year in bold. Every acs style citation follows the ACS Guide to Scholarly Communication. Initials get periods, authors are separated by semicolons, and after the first ten authors comes et al. You choose whether the DOI is shown as DOI: 10.xxxx or as a doi.org link. 👥 Who uses this acs citation maker ➤ Chemistry and biochemistry students who need a reference list for lab reports. ➤ Graduate students who collect dozens of sources for a thesis or a review article. ➤ Researchers who want the correct acs citation format without opening the style guide. ➤ Teaching assistants who check how students cite journal papers in lab courses. The built-in bibliography generator keeps up to 50 references in the popup. Number them in the order you added them or alphabetically. Then copy the whole numbered list from this reference generator, or download it as a BibTeX or RIS file for your reference manager. ✅ At a glance 🔹 No account or sign-up 🔹 Journal abbreviations built in 🔹 Duplicate DOIs merged automatically 🔹 Light and dark themes Each entry in the list also has a Copy in-text button. It gives you the in text citation marker for that number as superscript, italic in parentheses or bold, whichever you picked in settings. Not every page can be read. On pages that Chrome closes to extensions, the popup asks for an identifier instead, and you can always edit any field of a reference before you copy it. The acs citation generator also lets you correct a journal abbreviation once and reuses your version for that journal. 🔒 Your bibliography, settings and corrected journal abbreviations are saved only in your browser. The extension reads a page only when you click its icon. A lookup sends only the DOI, PubMed ID or ISBN to the public service that holds the record. There is no tracking and no analytics. 📚 What you can cite - Journal articles with a DOI or PubMed ID - Books by ISBN and book chapters by DOI - Web pages, patents, theses and datasets - Any source typed into the manual form If you write in chemistry, try ACS Citation Generator on your next paper. It works as a cite generator and a reference generator in one small popup.
