Easily add citations and a bibliography in your WordPress website: paste a DOI, PubMed ID, ISBN, or arXiv ID and get a clean in-text citation and automatically generate a bibliography in APA, MLA, Chicago, IEEE, Vancouver, and other citation styles. Perfect for academic blogs, university websites, research group websites, online journals, and personal publication pages. A modern, actively maintained citation tool, it works as an up-to-date citation and BibTeX plugin for WordPress. It runs in both the block editor (Gutenberg) and the Classic Editor, and it does not lock your content: deactivate the plugin and your in-text citations stay readable as plain text. If you have been looking for an easy way to cite research papers and sources in WordPress, or to turn a DOI into a citation and bibliography, this is the plugin for it. Full documentation and a step-by-step guide on how to use the plugin: [TheLaTeXLab – Citations & Bibliography documentation and how-to guide](https://thelatexlab.com/academic-citations-bibliography-wordpress-plugin/). **Insert citations from identifiers** * [DOI to BibTeX](https://thelatexlab.com/doi-to-bibtex/): paste a DOI, get the verified record from CrossRef. * [PubMed to BibTeX](https://thelatexlab.com/pubmed-to-bibtex/): paste a PubMed ID (PMID) or PMC ID. * [ISBN to BibTeX](https://thelatexlab.com/isbn-to-bibtex/): paste an ISBN-10 or ISBN-13. * [arXiv to BibTeX](https://thelatexlab.com/arxiv-to-bibtex/): paste an arXiv ID. * Paste a URL from doi.org, arxiv.org, PubMed, or a publisher page and the plugin extracts and verifies the identifier. A citation is produced only when it can be confidently verified against the source, never guessed. * Import existing libraries: BibTeX (.bib) and RIS (.ris) upload. **Auto-format a bibliography** Eight citation styles: APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago 17 (author-date), Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, Nature, AMA. Selectable per post, with a site-wide default. **Block editor and Classic Editor, both** An “Insert Citation” block for Gutenberg and a toolbar button for the Classic Editor, sharing the same search-or-paste modal. **Publications page mode** A publications list block and the [thelatexlab_publications] shortcode render your references as a sortable, filterable list. Ideal for a researcher’s personal site. **Robust by design** * Citations are stored as portable JSON. Deactivate the plugin and in-text citations stay readable. * Resolved metadata is cached for 30 days. * Compatible with PHP 7.4+ and WordPress 6.0+. * Built and designed for researchers who need fast, accurate academic citations in WordPress. **TheLaTeXLab – Professional Word to LaTeX & PDF to LaTeX Conversion** This plugin is built by [TheLaTeXLab](https://thelatexlab.com/), a professional LaTeX typesetting service for researchers, PhD students, and academics. Beyond WordPress citations, we help authors get their manuscripts submission-ready: [Word to LaTeX](https://thelatexlab.com/word-to-latex/), [PDF to LaTeX](https://thelatexlab.com/pdf-to-latex/), and [thesis formatting in LaTeX](https://thelatexlab.com/thesis-latex-formatting/) to exact journal and university templates. ### External services This plugin resolves identifiers and parses or converts reference files using TheLaTeXLab’s citation API, a service operated by TheLaTeXLab. It is required for the lookup, import, and export features. Citation formatting (the bibliography you see on the page) runs locally on your server and does not use the API. What is sent, and when: * When you resolve an identifier or URL (DOI, PubMed ID, ISBN, arXiv ID, PMC ID, or a URL), that identifier or URL is sent to the API to fetch the bibliographic record. * When you import a reference file (.bib, .ris, .enw, .nbib), the contents of that file are sent to the API to be parsed into citation records. * When you edit a reference or export to RIS, the affected reference data is sent to the API to regenerate BibTeX or RIS. * Each request includes your site URL (for diagnostics and abuse prevention). No personal data, post content, or visitor data is sent. * Optional email updates: only if you tick the “Get plugin updates by email” option on the plugin’s welcome screen and submit it, your email address and site URL are sent to the service and stored so TheLaTeXLab can email you occasional plugin updates. This is entirely optional, off unless you choose it, and you can unsubscribe at any time. Nothing is sent when a page with a bibliography is viewed by your readers; rendering is local. API endpoint: https://api.thelatexlab.com Terms and privacy policy: https://thelatexlab. com/privacy-policy/ The API base URL is configurable in the plugin settings, so you can point it at your own deployment if you prefer. ### Credits Bibliography formatting uses citeproc-php by Sebastian Boettger (MIT license). The bundled citation style (CSL) files come from the official Citation Style Language styles project (CC-BY-SA); the per-style author attribution is retained inside each file. One file (Chicago) has a single compatibility edit to its page-range-format value so it works with the bundled formatter. ## Capturas [⌊The Insert Citation modal: paste an identifier, search your library, or add manually.⌉⌊ The Insert Citation modal: paste an identifier, search your library, or add manually .⌉[ The Insert Citation modal: paste an identifier, search your library, or add manually.

Install and activate the plugin. 2. Open Settings to pick a default citation style. 3. In the editor, use the Insert Citation block (block editor) or toolbar button ( Classic Editor), paste a DOI / PubMed ID / ISBN / arXiv ID, and insert. 4. Publish. The bibliography renders at the bottom of the post, or wherever you place the bibliography block. For bibliography formatting, the plugin uses citeproc-php. Builds shipped to WordPress. org include it; if you install from source, run “composer install” in the plugin folder. ## Preguntas frecuentes ### Do I need an account? No. This plugin needs no account and no login of any kind. Paste an identifier and go. ### Does it work without BibTeX upload? Yes. It resolves directly from identifiers (DOI, PubMed, ISBN, arXiv), so you do not need a BibTeX file to start. BibTeX and RIS upload are also supported for importing an existing library. ### What happens to my citations if I deactivate the plugin? In-text citations remain in your content as readable text, so posts do not break. This is a direct fix for the lock-in problem of older plugins. ### Which citation styles are supported? APA, MLA, Chicago (author-date), Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, Nature, and AMA. More can follow based on demand. ### Is it free? Yes, completely free, with no premium tier. ### How does DOI to citation work on WordPress? Paste the DOI into the Insert Citation modal. The plugin resolves it through the TheLaTeXLab API (which uses CrossRef), stores the reference, and formats it in your chosen style. ### Is the reference library shared between authors? Yes. References are stored site-wide, so any user who can edit posts can use, edit, or delete any reference. This suits a single-author academic blog or a coordinated lab site. On a multi-author site where authors should not see each other’s references, keep that in mind. ### What data does the plugin send to an external service? Identifiers you look up, files you import, and references you export are sent to TheLaTeXLab’s citation API. See the “External services” section above for the full disclosure. Rendering a bibliography for your readers happens locally and sends nothing. ## Reseñas ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/37ea0b9eef68f6e95e0df6bf09b85bd4e12f7e9fdd6cacf6a75beb734bcb82ef? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent Citation Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-citation-plugin/)󠁿 [Harsh Srivastava](https://profiles.wordpress.org/harshsrivasta10/) 19 de julio de 2026 I used this plugin while developing a client's website, and the experience was excellent. It was very easy to set up, simple to manage, and worked exactly as expected.

The in-text marks could end up nested in the saved markup; they are now flattened so every citation is counted and rendered. * Changed: the in-editor citation preview always shows author-date text (for example“( Smith, 2024)”), so the editor never displays a placeholder number. The front end still renders every citation in the post’s selected style. * Fixed: the same scholarly work is now stored only once, no matter how it was added (DOI, PubMed ID, ISBN, arXiv ID, manual entry, or import). References are deduplicated by work identity across all of those identifiers, so a paper added by its PubMed ID and again by its DOI no longer creates two entries. On update, existing duplicates are safely merged into one canonical reference: every citation in your posts is first repointed to the canonical entry, so no published content breaks, and only then is the redundant record removed. The merge runs in the background in resumable batches, so it is safe on large libraries. #### 1.0.0 * First stable release. Identifier resolution (DOI, PubMed/PMID, ISBN, arXiv, PMC, and identifier-bearing URLs) with correctness-first verification; reference storage as a custom post type; citeproc-php bibliography rendering in 8 styles (APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, Vancouver, Nature, AMA); in-text citations with graceful degradation; block editor inline format plus bibliography and publications blocks; Classic Editor toolbar button sharing the same modal; import (.bib, . ris, .enw, .nbib) and per-reference and whole-library export (BibTeX, RIS, CSL- JSON, formatted citation); reference editing with tags; per-post style; settings with JSON backup; and a References admin screen. ## Meta * Versión **1.0.1** * Última actualización **hace 4 meses** * Instalaciones activas **10+** * Versión de WordPress ** 6.0 o superior ** * Testeado hasta **7.0.7** * Versión de PHP ** 7.4 o superior ** * Idioma * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/thelatexlab-citations-bibliography/) * Etiquetas: * [academic](https://es-ar.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/academic/)[bibliography](https://es-ar.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/bibliography/) [citations](https://es-ar.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/citations/)[doi](https://es-ar.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/doi/) [references](https://es-ar.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/references/) * [Vista avanzada](https://es-ar.wordpress.org/plugins/thelatexlab-citations-bibliography/advanced/) ## Valoraciones 5 de 5 estrellas. * [ 1 valoración de 5 estrellas ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/thelatexlab-citations-bibliography/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 valoraciones de 4 estrellas ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/thelatexlab-citations-bibliography/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 valoraciones de 3 estrellas ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/thelatexlab-citations-bibliography/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 valoraciones de 2 estrellas ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/thelatexlab-citations-bibliography/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 valoraciones de 1 estrellas ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/thelatexlab-citations-bibliography/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/thelatexlab-citations-bibliography/reviews/#new-post) [Ver todas las reseñas](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/thelatexlab-citations-bibliography/reviews/) ## Colaboradores * [ TheLaTeXLab ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/thelatexlab/) ## Soporte ¿Tenés algo que decir? ¿Necesitás ayuda?
