The use of a reference management software is beneficial during the literature searching process. The potentially large number of papers found during a search can be difficult to manage, and you want to avoid losing or misplacing relevant articles.

There are various reference management software options such as EndNote, Zotero, RefWorks or Mendeley. Visit the library referencing guide for more information on each of these software.
