Reference managers

Reference managers (or reference formatting software such as BibTeX for LaTeX documents) make it easy to organize and format citations. They can also assist with managing libraries containing citations, PDFs, and image files. This allows you to organize important manuscripts by subject and to search your library using keywords. This will help you remember to appropriately cite manuscripts that you have read.
Some widely used reference management and formatting software applications are:


BibTeX
EndNote
Mendeley
Papers
RefWorks
Zotero

TIP!

When using a reference manager, make sure you have the correct style file for your target journal. Formatting references using a reference manager with a style file is very simple.
