Managing Citations in Google Docs

Amy Cavender discusses reference management software . Cavender says:

I’m a long-time user of Zotero, and I’ve often recommended it to my students (sometimes I’ve even required them to use it for an assignment). I’ll continue to recommend it.

Recently, though, I’ve found that Zotero doesn’t always work well for the way I want to work with my PDFs: I want to be able to read and annotate them on mobile devices, across platforms.

To deal with PDFs in a Google Docs environment, she recommends an app called PaperPile. Commentators continue to praise Endnote for other environments.

Free and easy to use, the Open Science Framework supports the entire research lifecycle: planning, execution, reporting, archiving, and discovery.
