What is a citation manager?

Sometimes called “reference software” or “bibliographic manager”
Allows you to collect, organize, cite, and share your research resources.
Citation software allows you to…
Import citations directly from databases and websites
Build and organize bibliographies over the life of your research
Format (and reformat) citations for papers
Take notes on articles and save them in your collection
Save and organize research files like PDFs
Zotero
Open source, free software developed at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (GMU)
Download and use on Firefox (with plug-ins for Chrome and Safari)
BENEFIT: Saves citations in the browser with a single click
Great for collaborative work and has an easy learning curve
Three components of Zotero
Zotero.org – download software and set up your online account and preferences
Zotero for Firefox (application) – where you manage your library
Zotero plug-in for Word – how your reference library interacts with Microsoft Word so you can automagically plug references into your papers

Add references to Zotero in the Firefox plug-in
Plug those references into a Word Doc using the Firefox plug-in for Word
