Citation Managers
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.
