zotero

Zotero is a free and easy-to-use research tool that helps you collect, organize, and analyze research and lets you share it in a variety of ways. Zotero includes the best parts of older reference manager software — the ability to store author, title, and publication fields and to export that information as formatted references — and the best aspects of modern software and web applications, such as the ability to organize, tag, and search in advanced ways.
Zotero interacts seamlessly with online resources: when it senses you are viewing a book, article, or other object on the web, it can automatically extract and save complete bibliographic references.

  • An online user community allows you to discover and share citations with other users in your field.
  • Plugins allow you to import and quote saved citations in Word and Open Office.
  • Zotero is free to use, and available in two options, as Standalone to run with Chrome, Safari and FireFox and as a plugin for FireFox.
