Using Citation Managers

Citation managers are helpful tools for organizing and saving useful citations during your research. Although there are many citation management tools to choose from, I recommend Zotero since it is open source and free to use. 

Follow along with the Quick Start Guide to download Zotero and begin using the software. 

Zotero allows you to:

  • Quickly save items with the Zotero Chrome extension
  • Share folders with others, such as members of a group project
  • Autogenerate citations in numerous common citation styles (including APA, Chicago, and MLA) 

Other citation management tool options include: 

  • EndNote: Note that there are both free and fee-based subscription options. A limited subscription is available to UM-Dearborn affiliates at no cost. Click here to sign up for the UM-Dearborn subscription.
