Reference Manager Softwares

Reference Manager softwares can build up libraries to help you handle your data (store, organize, sort, format bibliography).  

Your library is always available in the cloud. You can sort, retreive, and share documents by private preferences and insert attachements.

These softwares contain several referencing styles that can be easily accessed through word processors. The style of referencing can be changed anytime, and the related bibliography can be generated automatically.
