Literature Review

It is essential to keep track of your research and the resources you find when writing a literature review. Using citation management software can make this process easier.  Most citation management tools can:

• Keep all your citations in one place
• Search the papers you collect by author, title, journal, subject headings or your own keywords
• Insert footnotes or endnotes directly into your documents
• Automatically generate bibliographies or works cited lists in particular style formats
• Take searchable notes that are all stored in one place
• Share group libraries of articles with collaborators (depending on your software)
