Citations can get out of hand with complex research projects. Citation management tools assist researchers with collecting and organizing their citations.
Citation management tools allow you to collect, organize, and format citations for projects and insert citations and bibliographies within papers. Some commonly used citation tools include EndNote and Zotero. UCF Libraries provide support for faculty, students, and staff interested in using these tools.
