Picking the best Reference Management Service for your Research

Having a Citation/Research program (sometimes referred to as a reference management program) available to collect new citations via AI/web searches can help you better organize your sources and decide which ones to keep or discard.

Some popular Reference/Citation Programs include:

If you need help using/navigating your reference management program of choice, please set up a research appointment with one of the librarians via email (bdriver@abcnash.edu) or phone (615-617-6937)
