RefWorks & Zotero
Citation managers allow you to save and organize references and citations you gather during research. You can import citations from databases such as JSTOR, PubMed, and Google Scholar, or manually enter citations. You can attach pdfs and images to the citations as well. They also generate bibliographies and footnotes. There are two main citation managers supported by the Graduate Center: Zotero and Refworks. Links and descriptions are below. If you want to have an introduction to any or all of the citation managers make an appointment here.
