Abstract

A citation system parses, error checks, corrects, and transforms citations between citation systems. The system may determine the available citation systems, such as The Bluebook, The Chicago Manual of Style, or other citation systems available for selection. The system also determines a selected citation system from among the multiple citation systems. For example, the system may determine that a writer has selected The Bluebook citation system from among those available to the system. The system also determines an applicable rule set for the selected citation system, and applies to rule set to an input citation to obtain an output citation component.
