Reference Managers
Reference managers (also called citation managers or bibliographic management software) offer a way to save, organize and manage references.
Many work with your word processing software to format in-text citations and bibliographies for papers and theses, allow you to share references, and enable you to attach or link PDFs to a citation record.
