Research is so hard. A literature review is so hard. A citation manager is never anything but a really good idea.
Before you start your review, sign up for an account - many tools are free. Use our guide to citation managers for guidance. We post recorded workshops for our tools on this page as well.
A citation manager allows you to:
- Using a browser plugin, import citations and documents alongside searches in databases and on the web - so you never duplicate effort
- Create folders and subfolders to be ultra organized
- Share your library with others to collaborate
- Annotate records with notes relevant to you
- Use as support literature and systematic reviews
