Citation Managers
Citation managers are software tools that help you collect, organize, cite, and share references. They can help you to manage your collection of PDFs, source citations, and other references as a personal library and work companionably with writing software to generate the in-text citations and cited reference lists for your manuscript.
A citation manager will prove helpful to you as you collect, sort, and analyze the resources you identify for your literature review.
While our Libraries provide support for three products--EndNote (desktop and Web), Mendeley, and Zotero--we would advocate using either EndNote (desktop edition) or Zotero for your review work given capacity and performance.
