References, Citations, and Style Guides

A guide outlining the resources available to help students, faculty, and staff manage citations, references, formatting, and more.

Getting Started

At its basic level, Mendeley is a citation management tool that can help with:

  • Organizing PDFs of research papers, including annotations and highlights
  • Inserting bibliographies and citations into a word processor of your choice
  • Sharing research with collaborators
  • Discovering articles in your field

Mendeley has both a desk top and online version - it is recommended to use both when you sign up for a free account. This allows you to access your citation library even if you're not using your usual device, need to share something with collaborators, or seamlessly add citations via a website.
