This guide will introduce you to citation managers, both what they are, and specific tools you can use.
Citation managers allow you to collect, organize, and cite research. Some tools offer collaboration options, such as sharing citations with others, and plug-ins with Word processing tools, which make creating bibliographies an easier process.
Citation managers range from free, open-source tools, to licensed products that require a financial investment.
Advocate Health - Midwest has no official citation management tool. However, many individuals and departments across the system use EndNote. EndNote is the only citation manager that has been approved by HIT (health information technology) for installation on an Advocate Health - Midwest owned device.
