DOI lookups go only to CrossRef's free public registry — no account, no tracking, nothing else stored.

OSCOLA is footnote-based, not in-text like APA or Harvard. Citations appear as numbered footnotes in your document, with a separate Bibliography at the end. This tool generates both: the exact footnote text to paste at your footnote marker, and the bibliography entry (which uses a different author order) for your reference list.

Paste a DOI — we'll build the citation for you

Works for journal articles with a DOI via CrossRef. Cases, legislation, and books don't have DOIs — use manual entry for those, including ISBN lookup for books.
