Citation Management Tools

What are citation managers and generators?

Citation managers save and organize your references more efficiently, especially for longer projects. Use a citation manager to automatically create citations or lists of references (bibliographies) in different citation styles, insert citations into your paper, share your research, and collaborate in groups. You should always check all citation elements for missing or erroneous parts.

ASU Library officially supports three citation managers:

  1. Zotero
  2. Mendeley
  3. EndNote

Publication Manual of the APA

Print copies of the most current edition — the 7th edition — are available in the following ASU Library locations: Hayden Reserve, Polytechnic Reference, Downtown Reference, West Valley (Fletcher) Reference, Music Reference, Noble Reference, Hayden Stacks, and Polytechnic Stacks.

Citation styles change over time. The advent of the Internet and the increasing number of material types (web pages, e-journals, etc.) have contributed to some of these changes. When using a specific citation style, be sure to use a resource that reflects the current edition, such as the official style manual or an additional resource listed below.
