references manager (self.Blind)
submitted by ukifrit
do you use any software to manage references, like mendeley, zotero and others? I think it would be very useful for me, but according to a friend the ones I just talked about aren't accessible.

Zotero is alright. I use it and it works well enough to do pretty basic things. You can add notes for each file as a separate file and read through most of the general info about an article without needing to open it (authors, publication date, tags, abstract etc.). I don’t know what specifically you would be using the software for so I can’t add much beyond that.

mostly for when I do academic stuff and need to add citations and references. If I could save time by not needing to do all of it manually I'd be very happy

it has a feature that generates the references citation for an article for you which is pretty handy. I never trust any auto-generating software to do it 100% correct so I always still double check them or have them double checked by someone else but it saves time. For in-text citations, I have the format for doing those memorized but I think it has an option to generate those for an article as well. It’s usable. Like some features don’t work and things could certainly be labeled better but I find it to be fine. I use jaws as well btw.

Can you share some more examples of popular reference managers? I have never heard of them and curious what they're for exactly? Do you mean references as in business references or citations for research?
ukifrit [OP] 1 points 2y ago
citations for research. They usually let you organize them the way you want, and some let you copy citations in different styles. I don't know much about them actually.

What about EasyBib?

It was useable about 5 years ago when I was still in college. Not sure if that's still the case, but I used them a lot to get my works cited pages done.
