Effectively organizing your research promotes clearer thinking and writing. A critical research organization tool is a citation manager (CM), which is software that stores, arranges, and creates auto-generated citations of your sources. Zotero is a free CM and this version has a 300 MB capacity that you can download onto your computer. You can work on multiple research projects simultaneously, upload images or PDF files, and export citations into Microsoft Word or Google Docs. It's easy to use and will help you manage research-based assignments and organize your course readings for easy access.
