Public Health - Undergraduate Program

Citation or bibliographic managment programs help you:

• collect and organize your references and PDFs
• easily insert citations in a Word document
• create and format a bibliography in many styles.

Each program works somewhat differently, so take some time to get to know a few programs and find the one that works best for you.

Don't worry about changing a program that isn't working for you. You can export your references from one program to another easily.
