OSBIB is a web-based, bibliography/citation formatter comprising tools to format bibliographies and citations within a block of text and to create and edit styles. Styles bundled with the download include APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, Harvard, British Medical Journal and IEEE. It is a GPL'd, open source, PHP library originally developed in Wikindx and used in other similar bibliographic tools such as Aigaion. The citation formatter handles footnote and endnote-style citations as well as in-text, context-sensitive (and split) citation styles. Bibliographic/citation styles are saved in XML format and may be used in bibliographic software using a version-compatible OSBIB. Its capabilities may be tested at the test site.
