Citation Management: EndNote
EndNote is a citation management software that can be installed onto your computer and allows you to download article citations, organize them into groups, and create accurate in-text and reference page citations. The "Cite While You Write" function integrates with Microsoft products to allow you to insert citations as you create documents.

Citation Management: Zotero
Zotero is a citation management software that can be as a web-based library in your browser and/or installed onto your computer. You can download article citations, organize them into groups, and create accurate in-text and reference page citations. It is not as robust as EndNote but the positive trade-off is that it is less complex to use.
