What are citation organizers?
Citation organizers (or reference managers) store and organize citation information for a variety of research resources for easy representation in a variety of citation styles. These programs allow you to build reference library for many information sources, including journal articles, books and book chapters, audiovisual materials, websites, and more.
Common features:
- Exist in a desktop and/or browser-based version
- Support all major citation styles, with some specialized or custom styles
- Allow import directly from databases and web
- Build bibliographies with a single click
- Offer “cite while you write” Word integration
- May support PDF attaching, annotating
