Zotero

Zotero is a free, easy to use, open-source reference management tool that will revolutionise your research and writing processes. 

With an intuitive interface, cloud connectivity, and the ability to plug-in to your web browser and word processor, Zotero allows you to collect, organise, annotate, cite and share your research. In most disciplines it has become the gold-standard reference management system - and we at CAD are all big supporters of this product!

In addition to being the best product available (and free, so you can continue using it even if you leave the University), Zotero has a great support commmunity where questions can often be answered in minutes by developers or the wider user community - https://forums.zotero.org/ Links to an external site. 

The cloud options give you security - and the fact that Zotero is developed by an independent, non-profit organisation means that your data privacy is well-protected.

In short, it's the best software option in this space - and incredibly easy to use - so give it a go!!
