Dubbed "Your personal research assistant", Zotero allows you to collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share your research sources.

Why a citation manager?

If you haven't used one before, a citation manager can be a powerful time saving tool. With a reference manager, you can easily save sources, organize your reading and notes, and create citations. This can be especially helpful for long-term research projects or if you are working on multiple papers and presentations. 

This guide goes more in-depth with Zotero, but U of R supports several different citation managers. Check out our reference manager guide for more information:
