Cell journals (numeric) — Citation Generator
Generate references in Cell journals (numeric) from a DOI or link in seconds. CitApp renders this style with citeproc — the same engine as Zotero and Mendeley — so every comma matches the spec. Free for students, no sign-up to try.
What a Cell journals (numeric) reference looks like
Cell journals (numeric) is a numeric style: sources are cited with a bracketed or superscript number in the order they first appear, and the reference list is numbered to match.

How to use this style in CitApp
- Paste a DOI or link above, or save sources to a project with the browser extension.
- Pick this style from the CSL library when you create the project — or switch to it any time from the project card.
- The in-text markers and the whole reference list render to this exact specification, in English or Swedish.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Cell journals (numeric) generator free?
Yes. You can generate Cell journals (numeric) citations free of charge — paste a DOI or URL above and copy the result. A free account saves unlimited sources to projects; CitApp Pro adds AI reference lists and source summaries.
What does a Cell journals (numeric) reference look like?
1. Babonis, L.S., and Martindale, M.Q. (2022). A novel regulatory gene network in cnidarians. PNAS 119, e2113701119. 10.1073/pnas.2113701119.
How does CitApp generate Cell journals (numeric) references?
CitApp renders Cell journals (numeric) using the same open-source engine (citeproc) that powers Zotero and Mendeley, from the official CSL style file, so the output matches the guide by construction — no AI in the loop, and the same source always produces the same reference.
Does Cell journals (numeric) work in Swedish?
Yes. Set the project language to Swedish and dates and terms follow, so an undated source renders as u.å. instead of n.d.
Prefer a built-in style?
APA, MLA, Harvard, Chicago, IEEE, Vancouver and Oxford have dedicated generators too.
