Faculty Research Guide

This guide provides a general overview of library tools to help UM-Dearborn faculty find resources for publishing their research and determining impact factors in their subject field.

Recommended Citation Tools

The following are recommended citation management software tools, both free and subscription based.

  • Zotero:  This is free and open source software but requires a download to run (Windows, MacOS, or Linux).  Link to it here:  https://www.zotero.org/
    • If you don't have the ability to run Zotero software on your device and prefer a web-based option, you might also consider ZoteroBib, which helps you build a bibliography instantly from any computer or device, without creating an account or installing any software. https://zbib.org/ 
  • Mendeley: Mendeley has both a free and fee version. Link to it here: https://mendeley.com
  • EndNote:  Also free and fee version.  The limited free version is through the library's subscription to Web of Science.  You can also purchase (at a discount) the full version from the U-M Campus Technology Store.
