Reference management software tools can also assist in the systematic or other review process involved in research relating to EBM. These tools enable you to store all your references in one place, and insert your citations into Word documents: this will also generate a full reference list at the end of your document. There may also be facilities for sharing groups of references, or whole reference libraries, with colleagues in your study or research group. NB: you should always take care not to share full text or PDF files of whole articles with colleagues outside of your organisation as this may be in breach of copyright legislation.
Reference management software can form part of the management process for systematic reviews, as files can be uploaded into or exported from EndNote (or other software) to systematic review tools such as Covidence.
A number of reference management options are available.
Other reference managers are available as open web resources.
There are some openly available resources which, however, only generate a reference list for you, which has to be copied and pasted.
You should always check any references and lists generated by software carefully, and make any changes required.
BibTeX and LaTeX are specifically for cases where mathematical symbols and equations are prominent in referenced materials.
Mendeley and Zotero are for more standard referencing of journal articles and other formats.
