Zotero

Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool that helps users collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share research. It is designed for researchers, students, and anyone needing to manage bibliographic data, and it is available for Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. Key capabilities include automatically sensing research as users browse the web, allowing collection of items from sources like JSTOR, arXiv.org, the New York Times, or library catalogs. Users can organize items into collections, tag them with keywords, and create saved searches that automatically fill with relevant materials. Zotero can create references and bibliographies for any text editor, and directly inside Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs, with support for over 9,000 citation styles. It can optionally synchronize data across devices and allows access to research from any web browser. Users can share a Zotero library with any number of people at no cost for collaborative work. Zotero is open source and developed by an independent, nonprofit organization with no financial interest in users' private information.
