Citation Management Tools

Citation Management
See the library's Citation Management guide for more detail on how to choose, install and use a citation management tool.

The UBC Research Commons offers workshops throughout each term on three of the most popular citation management tools: Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote. To view upcoming workshops and to register for a session, visit the Library Workshops and Events Calendar and search for citation management.

EndNote
EndNote is a popular paid citation management tool. Web of Science embeds a limited free version, My EndNote Web, within the database.
Mendeley
A combination of a desktop application and a website which helps you manage, share and discover both research content and research contacts. Mendeley allows the automatic generation of citations and bibliographies. It also contains extra features for editing and annotating PDF documents. (Note: limited sharing of citation lists with free version)
Zotero
A free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources. While there is also a standalone version of Zotero that you can download and use, these resources focus on the browser extension for Firefox.
