If you're reviewing a lot of articles, you may want to manage your citations with Endnote, Mendeley, or Zotero.
- EndNote is a program for managing bibliographic citations. It can automate much of the work of organizing and formatting citations and bibliographies in your writing. EndNote can connect to online sources such as IUCAT and article databases. EndNote is available free of charge to Indiana University and IUPUI students, faculty and staff.
- Mendeley is a free desktop and cloud application that helps you manage your research. It is a reference manager with built in tools to help you read and annotate articles. It allows you to organize PDFs, other documents, and citations into folders and collaborate with other researchers. It backs up your research library and syncs to the web, and smart phone or tablet devices. It is also a social network for scholars across the globe with an online research library that you can use to discover research papers.
- Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources. Zotero allows you to scrape bibliographic metadata (the stuff you need for citing a source) directly from the web with a single click. Whether you are researching on a news site, in an academic database, or in IUCAT, you can easily save your sources and import the citations directly into your writing.
