Citation Management Software

What is citation management software?

Citation management software are programs that help researchers organize their citations and insert them into their papers. Often these tools provide for "cite while you write" capabilities with add-on software compatible with Microsoft Word or other word processing programs.

Typically, you download citation management software to your computer and run it. You may need administrative permissions for installation on shared computers.
