Why is it a good idea to use citation management software?
There are numerous bad ways to save your research work: bookmarking web pages, printing or e-mailing every reference of interest, copying citations into a big Word or Excel file, or even handwritten notecards. All of these create a lot of extra work beyond just the research and writing. Citation managers are much more efficient, save everything in one place, help you organize your work, and generate bibliographies in a massive variety of styles.
