Organizing Your Research

A guide to citation and bibliography management tools that help you collect, store, and organize your research.

Why Use Citation and Bibliography Tools?

Citation and bibliography management tools help you collect, organize, and retrieve citations you find during your research. Many can even work with your word-processing software to help format your final document via footnotes, endnotes, in-text citations, and bibliography creation.

Tulane Libraries provide Tulane affiliates with campus-wide subscriptions to:

  • EasyBib EDU
  • EndNote Basic (as part of Web of Science)
  • RefWorks

Tulane Libraries provide support for these open source tools: 

  • Mendeley
  • Zotero
