ACS to MHRA converter
Paste a reference list formatted in ACS and get it back in MHRA. UK humanities departments, especially English, history and modern languages. Each reference is matched to a real catalog record and re-rendered with the official MHRA style file; anything that cannot be matched is flagged instead of mangled.
Switching styles again later?
In CiteDash your references live as real, verified papers, and the whole bibliography re-renders in MHRA, ACS, or any of 12 styles with one setting change.
ACS to MHRA FAQ
What changes between ACS and MHRA?
MHRA in text: Numbered footnotes with full details at first mention, plus a bibliography. Reference-list formatting differs too, which is why each entry is re-rendered from its real record with the official MHRA style file rather than text-edited.
Why did some references not convert?
A reference only converts when it can be confidently matched to a catalog record. Journal articles match very well; books and web pages without a DOI match less often. Unmatched entries are listed untouched, never guessed at.
Is my reference list stored?
No. The conversion is stateless and pasted text is never logged. Only anonymous match-rate counts are kept.
