Citation Management software allows you to save, organize, and share all your references in one location. You can choose from several standard citation styles (like APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, etc.) or upload and use additional unique styles (e.g., various American Chemical Society styles) and auto-format in-text citations and reference lists in your papers.
This guide provides an overview of Zotero and Mendeley (free), and EndNote and RefWorks (subscription-based). There are many more to choose from. You can find out about them by doing a little online research or by chatting with your fellow students, supervisors, and faculty colleagues.
