Zotero

Zotero is a personal research assistant that allows you to store reference information. It is s a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organise, cite, and share your research sources.

You can use Zotero to:

• Bring items into your library

• Organise you library and take notes

• Generate bibliographies, citations and reports

• Sync, collaborate and backup

Although Zotero makes referencing much quicker and easier, it doesn't free you from the need to know anything about the referencing style you are using. You'll need to know the basics of the referencing style in order to be able to enter data into Zotero accurately so that the reference list will be output correctly.
