Citation managers allow you to save all of your citations in one place. They also help you create bibliographies and in-text citations. Always double-check citations from citation managers. They sometimes make errors in formatting citations, and you may have to do some manual edits.
Some web sites allow users to enter the citation information (author, title, journal, volume, etc.) and will create a citation for you on the fly which you can copy and paste into your bibliography. Always double-check citations from citation generators. They sometimes make errors in formatting citations, and you may have to do some manual edits.
