Keeping track of your sources is a vitally important part of research. Citation management softwares help you keep track of what articles, books, and journals you are reading, either for class, for research, or for fun. Managing your citations will come in handy when you are writing your bibliographies or when you are looking for an article you read two years ago and want to quote again.
UF provides access to a variety of citation management softwares, which you can compare using the Citation Management Library Guide.
The first link for each will take you directly to the software and will open in a new tab.
