Getting the Most Out of CINAHL: Organizing Citations

Citation or reference management tools are applications that will help you organize the citations you find for papers and projects.

These tools store your citations in one place on your computer or in a cloud, which makes retrieving them easy. You should also look for a tool that has these other features as well:

• Imports citations from databases, like CINAHL
• Stores figures and PDFs on your computer or in a cloud
• Works with your preferred word processing program, like Microsoft Word, Apple Pages and Open Office, to insert in-text citations and compose bibliographies with just a few mouse clicks

Zotero and EndNote (desktop and online versions) are citation management tools that you may want to consider using.
