EndNote (a Citation Manager!)

What is Citation Manager and why do you need to use EndNote?

Citation Managers are bibliographic management programs that will help you keep track of articles and books as you find them, organize your references and create bibliographies in 100s of citation styles (e.g., APA, MLA, Chicago, Turabian, etc.)

They will also allow you to:

  • Import citations as you research from databases and catalogs
  • Save and organize citations
  • Attach PDFs of articles, when available
  • Embed citations (footnotes or in-text) into your word processing documents
  • Collaborate with others online
  • Discover the latest research

The most popular citation managers are EndNote and Zotero.

Most times it's a personal preference in terms of which one to use. When you are in school, however, it is important to use the one your professor, advisor, and/or peers are using to ensure easier sharing of sources. For KIN 456, we are going to use EndNote.
