Reference management tools

A reference manager is a useful software tool for citing literature and creating reference lists. Commonly used reference managers include Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote. On the UBVU website, you can find more information about EndNote. You will also find a link with information about the EndNote workshops organized by the library, as well as details on how students can obtain a free license.

What is a reference manager used for?

Note: Always check your reference list to ensure all sources are cited correctly. Especially with non-academic sources, a reference manager does not always handle citations automatically.
