Citation managers allow you to save and organize references and citations you gather during research. 

You can import citations from the library catalog, websites, databases such as Business Source Complete, or manually enter citations. You can attach PDFs and images to the citations as well. The citation managers also generate bibliographies and footnotes when you use them with MS Word or Google Docs.

We usually recommend Zotero, as it is free and open-source.

To get started using Zotero, consult our Using Zotero guide.
