ACS Citation Generator
Build chemistry references from structured metadata and DOI import using the continuously updated ACS Guide and its current open-access style quick guide.
Build an ACS reference
Crossref supplies bibliographic metadata; PubMed/NLM is checked for a journal abbreviation when available.
Family, Given Middle.ACS references vary with chemistry publishing context
ACS conventions are used across chemistry, but exact presentation can vary by publication or instructor requirements. Use the structured generator as a starting point and compare the final result with the required journal or course guidance.
Author order, article title, journal title, year, volume, pages and DOI remain the key metadata to verify.
- Follow the required ACS variant for your publication or class.
- Verify journal details and DOI.
- Do not infer missing bibliographic fields from formatting alone.

Need the same source in a different style?
ACS and CSE are both used in scientific writing, but their citation systems differ. Carry over only the source facts and confirm that CSE Citation-Sequence is the system you actually need.

Questions
Is ACS tied to a numbered edition?
The current ACS Guide to Scholarly Communication is digital-first and continuously updated rather than a static numbered handbook.
Does Lynara support DOI import?
Yes, for journal articles, while keeping every imported field editable.
