What are they?
Citation Managers are software applications that will help you…
- Gather references automatically from article databases while you research
- Create citations automatically in your word processor in a variety of styles (Bluebook, MLA, APA, Turabian, etc.)
- Create and organize a personal research database of references, images and PDFs
- Share your databases with colleagues around the world
Which one is right for me?
There are a number of different citation managers. See the comparison chart available from the UW-Madison Libraries.
Note that Zotero is particularly recommended for law users. Watch a short video introduction to learn more.
