Most important things to consider All of the bibliographic management tools suported by the Fordham libraries are similar, which make selecting one over another very difficult.
Who creates, maintains, and distributes the tool? What is the cost? EndNote Web is free. EndNote Desktop is not. They are designed to work together, and are produced and maintained by Clarivate , a large, global publisher and information management corporation. If you leave Fordham University, you will need to either upload all of your content to the free web version of EndNote, transfer your EndNote Desktop access to a license purchased by another institution, or purchase EndNote Desktop access on your own.
Zotero is free. See the Zotero page on this research guide for possible charges for expanded storage. It is a project of the Corporation for Digital Scholarship , a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development of software and services for researchers and cultural heritage institutions. It is open-source, meaning that if you have an idea and skills to improve the tool, you can download the code, build something, and contribute to the Zotero project.
Zotero depends on users to provide feedback, ideas, code, and documentation to support the tool. You can, however, use Zotero without contributing money, code, ideas, or feedback. Zotero is totally independent of your academic affiliation. Mendeley is a free reference manager and academic social network.
It is owned by Elsevier , a large, global publisher and information management corporation that also owns the Scopus database, the Science Direct electronic journal platform, and many scholarly journals and book imprints.
Mendeley encourages researchers to share ideas about source material and discuss developments revealed through the scholarly literature via their online platform. Researchers can create a public profile, join a scholarly social network, find and work with collaborators online, upload content to a shared repository, search for jobs within their field, and discover information about grants and funding opportunities from within Mendeley.
When you create a Mendeley account your profile is publicly displayed; you can choose to add details to your profile and reveal them to select Mendeley groups. What tool are the people you work most closely with using? Zotero scrapes data from websites better than the others, so researchers who work in the humanities or social sciences with large amounts of content published on websites as opposed to in books or journals may prefer Zotero.
Individuals who like to work with open-source tools may prefer Zotero. Individuals who are resistant to large corporations may prefer Zotero. EndNote has been around the longest.
As a result, many well established academics may already have a robust EndNote library and may not be eager to migrate to a new tool. Ask your colleagues, other members of your academic cohort, and professors what tool they use and prefer, and why. If you have a mentor or regular collaborator, you may want to consider using the same tool because it will be easier to share libraries of sources and citations if you are both working with the same tool.
Carefully read the download requirements of the tool you choose. Consult online user groups to gauge how well your preferred tool works with your preferred operating system, word processor, other software, browser, and mobile device. Test or ask others how the tool exports citation content from your favorite database, website, and catalog. Create a bibliographic record from scratch and save it.
