What is bibliographic management software?
Bibliographic management software packages help researchers collect and manage citation information about papers, books, web sites, and possibly images.
Why use bibliographic management software?
As you collect citations and papers it will gradually become harder to keep up and keep track of them. Bibliographic software makes it easy for you to:
- Keep all your citations in one place
- Search the papers you collect by author, title, journal, subject headings or your own keywords
- Automatically generate bibliographies or works cited lists in particular style formats
- Insert footnotes or endnotes directly into your documents, depending on the software package you have.
