About citation management tools

This page on the library website will help you to learn how to select and use a citation manager.

Citation management tools help you collect and store articles, books, and web pages to use in your research. You can format, create, and export bibliographies using a particular citation style, including APA, MLA, Chicago, and more.

You can also:

  • Link to and store source materials
  • Insert in-text citations and bibliographies while writing in a word processor
  • Create formatted works cited, reference lists, or bibliographies
  • Collaborate with others
  • Annotate within PDFs
