Citation Management

Introduction to Citation Management Software

A citation management software, also known as bibliographic management software, is a tool that helps users organize, store, and generate citations and bibliographies for research papers. It is a database for references, allowing users to collect, organize, and manage their sources in one place. This software can import citations from various sources, generate in-text citations and bibliographies in different styles, and share resources with collaborators.
