Citation managers are software tools or applications that help researchers and writers organize and manage their bibliographic citations and references. These tools allow users to store and organize citations.
Citation managers typically provide features like importing citations from databases or websites, organizing citations into folders or categories, generating formatted bibliographies or reference lists in different citation styles (such as APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.), and inserting in-text citations into documents. They often include search functionality, allowing users to search for specific citations or full-text articles within their collection.
Some popular citation managers include EndNote, Zotero, and Mendeley.
You cannot go wrong choosing any of the tools, but it helps if you take a few things into consideration before starting. Remember that you can switch between the tools, it just becomes less convenient the longer you use a tool and the more file attachments you collect.
