Citation managers help you collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share research.

Many citation managers share some common features, such as keeping track of PDFs, so choosing one can be a bit confusing. The most popular citation managers are Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote. Ask a Dupré Librarian for help, or talk to researchers in your field to find out what they use and recommend.
