Last Updated: Aug 05, 2025     Views: 494

There are a variety of free tools for documenting your research as you plan and write a paper. Tools that you may find useful are Zotero, EndNote Online, and Mendeley. These online citation managers allow you to:

  • Store and organize citations
  • Create bibliographies
  • Create in-text references

Visit our Citation Management guide for more information.

Also, most major database providers (ProQuest, EBSCO, etc.) allow you to create a free account where you can store articles that you find in their databases.
