The amount of information available and the number of citation styles used in academic writing have increased. As a result, using reference management tools has become inevitable in research.
These tools help researchers, students, and academics organize sources, edit citation details (metadata), and export citations in various formats, making the citation process more efficient. By saving time and reducing errors, they enhance the accuracy and consistency of references, which is crucial for academic writing. These tools cater to a range of needs, from individual research projects to collaborative efforts in professional settings.
We recommend Zotero to our clients. As an open-source tool, Zotero offers flexibility and ease of access. Also, one may use Mendeley to manage references. These tools capture citations directly from web browsers and supports collaborative group libraries, making them a good choice for researchers.
Our library experts can help you choose and use the right reference management software and provide an orientation on how to use it. For assistance, please write to glus@jgu.edu.in.
