Use a Citation Manager

Zotero is a software tool that can help you collect, manage, cite and share your citations and sources. Zotero works with word processing programs to automatically format your citations in APA. It comes in the form of a browser extension or software that lives on your desktop.

Zotero Quick Start Guide provides robust documentation including short how-to videos and user-driven message boards.

UW's Zotero Research Guide outlines commons questions and instructions on how to start an account.

Download Zotero either as a web browser or desktop manager.

Still want some help using Zotero? Make an appointment with a Zotero specialist in the Research Commons.
