Citation Management

No. Name Description Info Tools
1. Zotero Zotero (pronounced "zoh-TAIR-oh") is an application that collects, manages, and cites research sources. It's easy to use, connects with your web browser to download sources, and best of all it's free.
2. EndNote EndNote is a popular reference management program.
3. RefWorks RefWorks is an online citation manager that helps you keep track of your references, organize them into a bibliography, and cite them properly according to the citation style that you need (e.g. MLA, APA, or Chicago).
4. Mendeley Mendeley is a reference manager and academic social network that can help you organize your research, collaborate with others online, and discover the latest research.
