Bibliographic software, also known as reference management software, is a type of computer program or application designed to help individuals organize, store, and manage bibliographic information and citations. It is commonly used by researchers, academics, and writers to collect and organize references, generate citations, and create bibliographies for academic papers, research projects, and other documents. These tools often integrate with word processing software and online databases, making it easier to track and cite sources.
Zotero is the citation manager the library reccomends.It is free, easy to use tool to help you collect, organize, cite and share research.
For best results, use Zotero Desktop rather than the web version.
Although Zotero is freely accessible, there are other bibliographic tools to consider. Two of the most important (fee based) alternatives include Papers AND Endnote. If you are planning on a career in research, or just like to stay organized, you might consider purchasing access to Endnote or Papers.
