Citation Management

Citation Management software fills two primary roles:
 * Storing citation entries in a manageable format
 * Allowing easy previewing and editing of these files

In addition, some software allows:
 * Searching online databases for citations from within the program
 * Direct insertion of a citation into word processing software

On Macs and PCs, Endnote is often used. See Endnote under Other Linux Software for Linux citation manager applications.
