citation management

Citation management involves organizing and formatting references to sources used in research or writing. It ensures that sources like books, articles, or websites are properly credited, making it easier to locate and verify information. Citation tools or software (like EndNote, Zotero, or Mendeley) help researchers collect, store, and generate correctly formatted citations and bibliographies automatically. This streamlines the writing process, maintains academic integrity, and saves time, especially when managing large numbers of sources. Overall, citation management is about efficiently handling and presenting source information accurately in scholarly work.
