Manage Your Citations and Sources

Zotero, RefWorks, and Mendeley can all help you to store the citations and full-text you find during your research and to format a works cited list. They can also be used to store your notes too.

Which is best for you? It depends on what you need in a citation tool and your own personal preference.
