Tools too specific for the big platforms to bother with — and too tedious to keep doing by hand.
Romzally Enterprises builds small, sharp software for academic and professional work: the job that eats an afternoon every month, done in a minute, correctly, every time. We work in the gap between "there should be a tool for this" and "there isn't one."
See CITE-FROM-DOI Get in touchCITE-FROM-DOI resolves every identifier against CrossRef, DataCite, PubMed, OpenAlex and Google Books, then writes the references in the style your journal actually requires — and hands them back as files you can use.
An illustration of the working tool, not the tool itself. See the live interface, or ask us for a guided tour.
The jobs people bring us, in the words they use when they arrive.
Paste one identifier or ten thousand. Nine common styles are built in, and a searchable library of more than ten thousand journal-specific styles covers the house style your target journal requires.
You do not have to pull the identifiers out by hand. Upload a PDF, Word file, spreadsheet, saved web page or reference export and the DOIs are found and resolved automatically.
Generate a .bib bibliography for a LaTeX manuscript, or RIS and
EndNote files that import cleanly into Zotero, Mendeley and EndNote. Upload an
existing file and stale records are refreshed against current source data.
Put an entire publication list into one consistent style and export it to Word, Markdown or HTML — with your own name bolded, underlined or italicised in every entry so your contributions stand out.
Get funder, open-access status and — the signal that matters for federal public-access policy — whether each work is actually deposited in PubMed Central, as columns in Excel or CSV.
Resolve who wrote what when a name is not enough, and pull CrossRef citation counts beside every work for a publication list, a candidate's record or a comparison set.
The same engine, pointed at the reporting problem instead of the manuscript.
Bulk citation formatting across a department's output, funder and open-access compliance reporting for federal grants, publication-list normalisation for annual reviews and promotion files, and author disambiguation across merged search results. Everything runs against authoritative registries rather than a scraped index, every run records which source answered for each record, and results arrive as ordinary Word, Excel and CSV files that drop straight into an existing process.
Where the style manuals, the journals and the public CSL definitions disagree — and they do, on author-list cutoffs, page ranges and abbreviation — the disagreement is documented rather than hidden, with a written record of what was checked and why the tool resolves it the way it does.
CITE-FROM-DOI is working software in limited release, and access is granted case by case while we widen it.
Tell us roughly what you are trying to format and we will either walk you through the tool on a call or set you up with an account to try it on your own references. There is nothing to install, no account to create in advance, and no obligation on either side.
Software for people whose actual job is something else.
Turn a pile of DOIs into clean, correctly formatted citations — in nine built-in styles or roughly ten thousand journal-specific ones. Paste them or upload the file they are buried in; the finished citations arrive in your inbox. More →
Research pipelines, document automation, data cleanup and reporting for teams that have outgrown a spreadsheet but do not want a platform, a subscription, or a vendor relationship.
Scheduled jobs, alerting, and integrations that run on infrastructure you own, with the failure modes written down rather than discovered later.
A tool that does one specific job exactly right is worth more than a platform that nearly does ten.
Things that fail silently are worse than things that fail loudly. We test for the quiet failures, because those are the ones that reach your published work.
You get the software and its documentation. No lock-in, no per-seat meter, and nothing that stops working when a subscription lapses.
No analytics, no trackers, no advertising, and nothing sold or shared. Logs mask identifying details rather than storing them raw.
If there is a task in your week that is obviously mechanical and obviously nobody's product, that is the kind of thing we build. Tell us about it.
