Citation Management

Citation management tools collect your journal article, book, or other document citations together in one place, and help you create properly formatted bibliographies in almost any style — in seconds.  Citation management tools help you keep track of your sources while you work and store your references for future use and reuse.

SFU Library officially supports both Zotero and Mendeley.  For help, contact us at citation-managers@sfu.ca.
