Reference Manager Tools

Reference managers and quick citation generators can automatically format citations in the style you need. We recommend ZoteroBib for generating quick citations and Zotero as a reference manager.

A reference manager is a useful productivity tool for your research and writing projects because you can:

Collect and organize your sources in one place
Create bibliographies for papers in the style you need
Add full-text documents to your account and annotate them
Share sources with others for group projects
