citation management tools

Citation management tools are software applications that help individuals organize and format references for their research and writing. They allow users to collect, store, and manage bibliographic information about books, articles, websites, and other sources. These tools can automatically generate citations in various styles (like APA, MLA, or Chicago), making it easier to create bibliographies and ensure proper credit is given to original authors. Examples include Zotero, EndNote, and Mendeley. By streamlining the citation process, these tools save time and reduce errors, enhancing the overall quality of academic work.
