About MHRA
The Modern Humanities Research Association style is a footnote-based system common in UK humanities theses. First references in a footnote carry full detail; later ones are shortened, and a bibliography collects every source.
- Used by: UK humanities departments, especially English, history and modern languages.
- In-text convention: Numbered footnotes with full details at first mention, plus a bibliography.

MHRA citation FAQ
Is this MHRA citation generator free?
Yes. Paste a DOI and copy the reference, no account needed. It runs the same citation engine CiteDash uses to manage whole thesis bibliographies.
Where does the citation data come from?
The DOI is resolved against OpenAlex and Crossref, the same open scholarly catalogs used across CiteDash, and formatted with the official community CSL style file.
Why is the output plain text without italics?
The generator returns the exact wording and punctuation of the reference. Apply italics and hanging indents in your document, where the style requires them.
Can it format my whole bibliography?
One reference at a time here. Inside CiteDash, the Reference Manager builds and reorders your full bibliography in any of 12 styles, and every citation is verified against a real paper.
