Best Reference Management Software - Page 4

ES
Researched and written by Emma Stein

Reference management software aids students, research-oriented professionals, and anyone else in sourcing others’ material by citing accurately and efficiently. These tools can be for one-time use, where users submit information and receive a full citation, or can act as a secure source repository for long-term projects. The best reference management software can serve more than academic purposes; business presentations or reports can all benefit from being adequately cited. The tool can connect large teams through cloud servers, providing companies access to trusted resources and articles.

Reference management tools can often integrate with file storage and sharing, document creation tools, or web-based browsers. Connecting with a web browser helps users save time and resources as they’re found much more efficiently instead of struggling to locate them later. Common features of reference management software include advanced searching, reference libraries, the ability to import references, and version history.

To qualify for inclusion in the Reference Management category, a product must:

Provide multiple options for citation format
Generate citations for various material such as books, websites, journals, etc.
Provide features that organize research and source information
