Zotero is a project of the Corporation for Digital Scholarship, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to the development of software and services for researchers and cultural heritage institutions, and is developed by a global community
Zotero is an open source (freely available) software package that will assist you to collect, store, organise and use your references. References can be entered into Zotero manually, or they can be transferred into Zotero from journal databases and web pages. References can be inserted from Zotero into Word documents via a Word plug-in that automatically installs with the software. A bibliography (reference list) can be created in the referencing style of your choice and also inserted at the bottom of your document.
