Evolution — Citation Generator
Generate references in Evolution 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 Evolution reference looks like
Evolution 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:

Web page

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.

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