Citation managers are a great way to organize your sources for different assignments. They can save article citations and abstracts and can sometimes pull information straight from a database at the click of a button!
Auburn University Libraries support three citation managers: Zotero, Mendeley, and Endnote. Each citation manager has its strengths and weaknesses, so check out the guides below to learn more about each and decide which one is right for your research!
