Citation Managers

Citation managers allow you to save and organize references you gather during research. You can import citations from databases such as Academic Search Complete and JSTOR or manually enter citations. You can attach PDFs and images to the citations as well. Citation managers also generate bibliographies in a wide variety of styles. The Graduate Center supports two citation managers: Zotero and RefWorks.
