URL to BibTeX
Paste the link. If it points at a paper (a DOI on a publisher page, arXiv, PubMed, or an OpenReview workshop paper), you get the full entry; for any other page you get an @misc entry with the URL and today's access date.

How to use it
- Paste the URL from your browser's address bar.
- Press Convert. Paper links resolve to full entries; other pages get an @misc entry.
- For a plain web page, add the title and author if you know them, then copy.
Why you'd use it
The link is what you have; the BibTeX is what the manuscript needs. Publisher pages hide the DOI in the address, arXiv links carry the paper id, and OpenReview links carry the forum id. The page reads the identifier out of the URL and resolves it, instead of asking you to find it.
Web pages without an identifier still need citing. The @misc entry follows the shape biblatex and the common .bst files expect: title, author, howpublished with the URL, year, and the date you accessed it.
FAQ
Which links are resolved to full entries?
Any URL containing a DOI (dl.acm.org, ieeexplore, springer, nature, wiley, sciencedirect, doi.org), arXiv abs or pdf links, PubMed links, and OpenReview forum links for the workshop papers this site tracks.
What about a page with no identifier?
You get an @misc entry with the URL in howpublished, a note with the access date, and empty title and author fields to fill in. Web page metadata cannot be read from another site by a browser page, so those two fields are yours.
How are OpenReview links handled?
The forum id is looked up in this site's index of workshop papers. If the paper is there, the entry gets the workshop's full name with its conference and year as the booktitle.
Why does the access date matter?
Web pages change. Styles that cite web pages (APA, MLA, IEEE) ask for the date you saw the page, and biblatex prints the urldate field.
