Special software can help you to organize your research and easily create footnotes, citations, and formatted bibliographies. The four basic functions of bibliographic software are:

• save references from research databases, or create new references
• add value to references with notes and keywords
• insert citations into a document
• format a bibliography for that document in a selected style (for example, in Chicago, APA, or a specific journal style)
