Ecology — Citation Generator
Generate references in Ecology 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 Ecology reference looks like
Ecology is an author–date style: the in-text citation gives the author surname and year in parentheses, and the reference list is sorted alphabetically by author.
Rendered live from the same engine CitApp uses in the app:
Journal article

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 Ecology generator free?
Yes. You can generate Ecology 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.

How does CitApp generate Ecology references?
CitApp renders Ecology 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 Ecology 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.
