Paste BibTeX or RIS exported by a database/reference manager. Import is local. Verify imported records: Chicago-specific details such as edition, report type, full date, repository, or contributor roles may be absent.
Current-edition safeguards: this tool targets Chicago Manual of Style, 18th edition (2024). It does not require a place of publication for modern books, uses the current author thresholds, and supports Chicago’s three accepted shortened-note patterns. It never invents missing source metadata.
