Bibliography Management

Bibliographic management systems help to download, organize, annotate, and format your literature references. They allow the creation of citations and lists of references according to various citation styles (e.g., MLA, Chicago, or a journal style such as Nature) in word processing software like Microsoft Word or OpenOffice. The library offers advice on managing your bibliography as well as support for transferring existing bibliographies into new management systems.

Zotero

Zotero is a free and open-source reference management software to manage bibliographic data and related research materials (such as PDF files). Notable features include web browser integration, online syncing, generation of in-text citations, footnotes and bibliographies, and integration with Microsoft Word.
