What is a Citation Manager?
Citation managers, such as Zotero and PaperPile are programs that allow users to collect, organize, and cite sources. They also allow for collaboration and some provide the ability to store and annotate PDFs within the system.

Many integrate with Google Docs and/or Microsoft Word to make it easy to cite sources while writing.
