Research Tools

Zotero manages references and let students save PDF. It allows to output references when writing papers and helps to manage citations. Unlike writing the details one by one in softwares like endnote, it can easily save the page on the web browser and adds it to the library with pre-set citation style. It is not a heavy software to install in computer like Endnote and is user-friendly as well. It is easy to grab a reference and paste it in the word document. It also allows to highlight sentences in PDF; however, the citations might not always be correct, so diligence is needed before citing references in the essay.
