MLA 9th Edition Citation Style Guide: Citation Tools

Citation Tools

Welcome citation users! Select a citation management software tool below for more information:

  • EndNote
    EndNote is a citation management tool that will help you keep track of your references when conducting research for assignments and papers and can help format your research papers and bibliographies. EndNote Online is available at no cost to Marymount students, faculty, and staff within the Web of Science database. 
     
  • Mendeley
    Mendeley is a free citation tool and academic social network, allowing you to create a searchable library, cite as you write, and read and annotate PDFs. Mendeley allows you to gather, organize, and analyze sources for purposes of information sharing and citation management, and has a wide variety of features that can help you streamline your research process.
     
  • Zotero
    Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, annotate, cite, and share research. Zotero instantly creates references and bibliographies for any text editor, and directly inside Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs.
     
  • RefWorks

    The RefWorks citation management tool will not be renewed in August 2025. In its place, users have the option of using EndNote, which is part of Marymount's Web of Science database subscription, or other free citation management tools of their choice (i.e. Mendeley, Zotero, etc.) 

    During the 2024/2025 academic year, Marymount users will continue to have access to their RefWorks accounts. The library recommends that students, faculty, and staff who have RefWorks accounts begin the transition to a new citation management tool now.
