About this material

This AI-powered citation converter helps researchers, students, and academics transform bibliographic references between major citation styles including APA (American Psychological Association), MLA (Modern Language Association), Chicago Manual of Style, IEEE, AMA (American Medical Association), ACS, CSE, Turabian, and ASA. Whether you're preparing a research proposal sample for an ERC Starting Grant, formatting your academic CV for a postdoc fellowship application, or converting references for a journal submission, this tool streamlines the citation formatting process.

Proper citation formatting is essential for grant proposal templates and academic manuscripts. Different funding bodies and journals require specific citation styles — NIH often prefers numbered formats like AMA or CSE for biomedical research, while Horizon Europe and Marie Curie fellowship applications may require different conventions. Our batch conversion feature allows you to convert entire reference lists simultaneously, saving hours of manual reformatting. After converting your citations, use our Budget Calculator for Horizon Europe and ERC proposals, our Gantt Chart Creator for timeline visualization, and the Pre-Submission Checklist to finalize your grant proposal template. For detailed citation guidelines, refer to the official style manuals from APA, MLA, and Chicago.
