Powered by Quasar 1.3
Built on Quasar 1.3 — our proprietary AI model trained specifically for citation analysis. It understands the structure of academic references at a level no general-purpose model can match.
AI that you control
AI suggests labels. You accept, adjust, or reject each one. Confidence scores tell you where to focus. The human is always in the loop.
True CSL compliance
Full coverage of the Citation Style Language spec. All CSL types, every field from abstract to volume-title, 26 creator roles. The real thing.
One reference. Every style.
Paste it messy. We extract the fields. You choose the style.

Built for the people who write with citations
Your thesis, your style, no rewrites.
Hundreds of references across five years of reading. When your committee asks for Chicago instead of APA, you shouldn't have to re-touch every footnote.
Read the PhD survival guide →Submit faster. Format never.
Every journal has its own style, and most of them drift from the official CSL. Upload your manuscript, pick the target journal, and move on.
Browse journal styles →Your references, your data — never stuck.
Export to BibTeX, RIS, CSL-JSON, EndNote XML. Import from Zotero, Mendeley, or a messy .bib. Your bibliography should move with you, not against you.
See all converters →2,800+ citation styles
Every style your journal asks for
APA 7 and MLA to OSCOLA, ABNT, and the 2,790 others from the official CSL repository — including the specific house style of the journal you're submitting to.

Import your .docx, export anywhere. Your references stay portable.
Made for real situations
When you need DEEPNOTIS
200 footnotes. Wrong style. No citation manager.
You just received a revision request: the journal needs Chicago, but your manuscript is in APA — and you never used a reference manager. With DEEPNOTIS, you don't have to start over. Upload your .docx, select the target style, and let the platform restructure all 200 footnotes in a few clicks. No manual reformatting, no copy-pasting, no wasted afternoons.
All you have is a URL, a DOI, or an ISBN.
Incomplete references slow everything down. Paste a DOI, ISBN, or even a raw URL, and DEEPNOTIS automatically retrieves the full metadata — authors, title, journal, volume, pages, date — and builds a complete, properly formatted citation for you. No more hunting through databases or guessing fields.
Need your references somewhere else? Export them.
Once your citations are structured and enriched, don't let them stay locked in a document. Export your entire reference list as BibTeX or RIS in one click — ready to import into Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, or any other tool in your workflow.
How it works
Three steps. That's it.
Upload your document
Drop in your .docx. DEEPNOTIS extracts each reference into editable, structured units — ready to review.
Structure & enrich automatically
AI labels every field — author, title, journal, DOI — or label them manually. Missing metadata? DEEPNOTIS looks up DOIs, URLs, and ISBNs automatically.
Convert to any style in seconds
Switch your entire bibliography to APA, Chicago, Vancouver, or any of 2,800+ styles instantly. Export as BibTeX, RIS, or CSL-JSON.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is DEEPNOTIS free?
Yes. The Free plan lets you label up to 3 documents per month with manual field labelling, all citation styles, and limited export formats. Upgrade to Pro for 10 documents per month, Quasar AI auto-enrichment, and all export formats.
Is it compatible with Zotero and Mendeley?
Absolutely. Export your structured citations as BibTeX, RIS, or CSL-JSON and import them directly into Zotero, Mendeley, EndNote, or any other reference manager.
What citation styles are supported?
DEEPNOTIS supports 2,800+ styles including APA, Chicago, Vancouver, Harvard, IEEE, MLA, and more. You can also browse the full list on the Styles page.
How does auto-enrichment work?
When DEEPNOTIS detects a DOI, ISBN, URL, or partial reference, it queries public databases (CrossRef, OpenAlex) to fill in missing fields like publishers and page numbers — automatically. You can also paste a URL to generate a full citation from a web page.
Are my data secure?
Your documents are processed securely and never shared with third parties. You can delete your data at any time from your account settings.
