Zotero is an application that allows a researcher to create, organize and import references. You can cooperate with others, cite while you write, automatically format references in specific bibliographic styles, and create bibliographies.
It's easy to use, connects with your web browser to download sources, and best of all it's free.
Zotero allows you to attach PDFs, notes and images to your citations, organize them into collections for different projects, and create bibliographies.
It automatically updates itself periodically to work with new online sources and new bibliographic styles.
Watch this video to learn how Zotero can make your life easier.
