Citation Management Tools
I recommend Zotero for collecting and organizing references. Zotero is a free tool that integrates with your web browser. See our guide to installing and using it here.
A word of caution about citation management tools: these are error prone and can lead to improper citations in your papers. The automated functionality of these programs can save you some typing, but it is your responsibility to ensure that your citations are correct and complete.
