Science — Citation Generator
Generate references in Science 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 Science reference looks like
Science 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.
Rendered live from the same engine CitApp uses in the app:
Journal article
1. L. S. Babonis, M. Q. Martindale, A novel regulatory gene network in cnidarians. PNAS 119, e2113701119 (2022).
Book
1. T. S. Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (University of Chicago Press, 1970).
Web page
1. IPCC, Climate change 2021: the physical science basis (2021). https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/.
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 Science generator free?
Yes. You can generate Science 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 Science references?
CitApp renders Science 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 Science 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.
