CiteProc

CiteProc is a software tool that automatically formats references and citations in documents, such as research papers or articles, according to various style guidelines like APA, MLA, or Chicago. It takes information about sources—like author names and publication dates—and arranges them in a consistent, properly formatted way. This makes it easier for writers to ensure their citations are accurate and adhere to the required style, saving time and reducing errors. CiteProc is often integrated into reference management software and writing tools to streamline the process of citing sources correctly.
