FAQ
Questions about this tool
Can this tool fix every citation error automatically?
No. It cleans spacing, ordering, DOI formatting, and obvious consistency risks, but you should still check each entry against your assigned style guide.
What should I paste into the formatter?
Paste your current reference list, Works Cited entries, bibliography entries, or rough citation drafts. Put each source on its own line or separate entries with blank lines.
Does it store my references?
No. The formatting runs in your browser. Academic Wizard only receives the result if you choose to email/save it or start an order.
Can Academic Wizard format my full reference list?
Yes. Citation Formatting can clean up full reference lists, in-text citations, and style consistency across the paper.
