Featured Resource: Guide to Citation Managers
A citation manager helps you “capture” records of articles, books, and other publications as you are researching, organize them as needed for your future use, and from these records create in-text citations and bibliographies in your preferred citation style. The Guide to Citation Managers provides useful information about choosing a citation manager.
