Wikipedia compares a broad range of managers. Need a side-by-side comparison of citation managers? But if you’re running a systematic review with thousands of citations, you’ll probably benefit from a more sophisticated manager. If you’re new to these tools, it can be helpful to have on-site experts.ĭo you want to import citations to your paper as you write? Do you have to create a subject bibliography? Do you need duplication detection? If your paper has only thirty or so references, you might be OK with a more basic tool. The UW Libraries offer support for four citation tools: Zotero, EndNote Basic, Mendeley, and RefWorks. Others won’t let you attach PDFs to citations, or allow notes or annotations. Many managers won’t allow you to import citations straight from Medline. What kind of information are you keeping track of? Some managers support Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Unix, and a host of apps. Others come with a price - though in at least one case (EndNote Desktop), the UW’s IT Connect offers it at a discount. Some managers, like Mendeley and Zotero, are free in their basic iterations. Mendeley’s free iteration, for example, will let you create only one private group folder with two other people. You’ll also want to check out what the software offers in the way of group work or folder sharing. If you’re collaborating with others, using a common citation manager will help you share sources with your teammates with minimal fuss. What software is commonly used in your department or discipline? Below are some questions and links that can help you make the choice. If you’re doing research and you have a long list of citations to keep track of, efficient management software is a must. Pybliographer, EndNote, Zotero, Mendeley, Papers, RefWorks, Docear … sometimes it seems like every software company has a citation manager to offer. Citation management software: Which one should I use?
