Why use a reference manager?

Reference managers (also called "bibliographic software" or "citation managers") are designed to...

  • track where you found a particular idea, picture, fact, or quote so it can be properly cited later.
  • organize your references by research project in your own searchable database.
  • import references from online databases, library catalogs, journal indexes and web sites.
  • automatically format your references into any style you choose, such as MLA, or APA.
