Respiratory Care: Evidence-Based Practice: Citation Management

Citation Management

When you find articles of interest in a database or search engine, bibliographic management programs such as Zotero or EndNote make it easy to create a personal collection of references (citations and/or articles) and cite them in your document in the citation style of your choice.

EndNote Quick Info


EndNote: Bibliographies Made EasyEndNote is a bibliographic management software package. It is intended to organize, share, store, and create references. Users can build and manage their own personal research libraries.

EndNote is available for UT Health affiliates through TechZone.


Citation Managers

  • EndNote offers many of the same features as RefWorks, yet must be purchased. It is available from the University Computer Store, TechZone
  • Mendeley is a free application and does not require Internet access. It can query PubMed for more accurate citation information and matching PDFs, yet with mixed success.
  • Zotero is open-source and free, yet requires an additional plug-in to manage PDFs. Internet access not required. 

        *Briscoe Library provides classes and support for Endnote.
