Frontier gives you the opportunity to create a RefWorks account but there are also several free-to-use citation management programs available. Each program has their unique advantages and it is sometimes helpful to duplicate your citation libraries to one of the free options to try out their different features. The free programs do have their limitations, such as storage caps, but for students and small-to-medium scale research, they can be quite useful. In this info guide, we will explore two of the most common free programs: Mendeley and Zotero. Tip: No citation management software will produce perfect results but they are useful tools to help lighten your workload. All in-text citations and references will still need to be proofread and compared to the APA Manual, 7th edition, for accuracy.
