How does CitApp generate OSCOLA 4th edition references?
CitApp renders OSCOLA 4th edition 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 OSCOLA 4th edition 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.
