What is a Citation Manager?
Citation Manager Software helps you:
Collect, Organize, Cite, and Share your research sources (This is your personal database)
Automatically create citations using a variety of referencing styles
Effortlessly build bibliographies to properly cite the information that you use
Save and organize articles in PDF format, graphs, images, or other files for your research
Why Use A Citation Manager At All?
Reference managers save a HUGE amount of time and effort
Incorporating a reference manager into the research process pays BIG dividends
More time for class participation or teaching
More time for other projects
Less time needed to gather resources, organize and cite them
A reference manager frees the researcher from the mind-numbing clerical process of formatting citations so you can focus on your true purpose...the research itself
