Reference management tool

Using a reference management tool makes it easier to have an overview of sources you are using in your studies and research. A reference management tool can also help you to create and format citations and reference list in your manuscripts.

A reference management tool can help you to:

• Collect, organize and retrieve references in your own reference library
• Insert references in text and create correct citations and reference lists in different reference styles
• Some reference management tools can find and import full text versions (pdf files) of your references
