What are reference management tools?

Answer

Reference Management Tools (like RefWorks, EndNote, and Zotero) help to automate the collection, organisation, citation and sharing of bibliographic references. You can use reference management tools to: 

  • Import references from databases, Google Scholar and the library catalogue 
  • Provide searchable folders to organise your references 
  • Generate bibliographic citations for your reference list and in-text citations (where appropriate plug-ins are used).
