Citation Managers
Citation Management software allows you to save, organize, and share all your references in one location. You can choose from several standard citation styles (like APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, etc.) or upload and use additional unique styles (e.g., various American Chemical Society styles) and auto-format in-text citations and reference lists in your papers.
Through the Chester Fritz Library’s subscription to Web of Science, EndNote is now available. For free citation manager options, the Library has guidance on Zotero and Mendeley and RefWorks Lite.
