ACS to Nature converter
Paste a reference list formatted in ACS and get it back in Nature. Nature portfolio journals and many STEM venues that copy the format. Each reference is matched to a real catalog record and re-rendered with the official Nature 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 Nature, ACS, or any of 12 styles with one setting change.
ACS to Nature FAQ
What changes between ACS and Nature?
Nature in text: Superscript numbers in citation order, with a numbered reference list. Reference-list formatting differs too, which is why each entry is re-rendered from its real record with the official Nature 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.
