Reference management tools are software that can help you organize and manage your references for your papers. There a several different programs available. We recommend using Zotero, which is free and open-source software. Zotero makes it easier to:
Retrieve and download sources and their metadata
Organize your references and update their metadata
Create citations and generate bibliographies for your
Zotero consists of four integrated components that together make it work.
The desktop library that contains files stored locally on your computer.
The online-library that enables cloud storage and synchronization between your profile and computer.
A browser-plugin that allows quick collection and downloading of references directly from a website into Zotero.
In Zotero, you can organize your references in different ways.
"My library" is where your references ar stored by default. It is possible to create folders within this library and organize your references as needed. It is important to note, that your "My Library" always will contain all your references - they will not be moved to the new folder.
With group libraries, you can create a new library where files and references are stored separate from "My Library". Additionally, group libraries can be shared with others for example other group members. This makes it easier to collaborate in Zotero.
