Zotero
Your personal research assistant

Zotero is a free, open-source reference management tool that helps researchers collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share academic and web-based sources. It integrates with word processors like Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs to generate citations and bibliographies in over 9,000 styles. It also offers optional cloud sync and collaborative library sharing across devices.
A browser extension and desktop app automatically detect and save research sources, which can then be organized, annotated, and cited directly inside word processors.
