Systematic Reviews

When conducting a systematic review, you will likely be exporting hundreds or even thousands of citations from different databases. Citation management tools are useful for storing, organizing, and managing your citations, and can be used to help manage literature and conduct a systematic review. 

• TXST Libraries provide free access to and support basic training for EndNote, a Citation management tool. Other similar (free) tools are Zotero and Mendeley.
• These tools allow you to group articles in folders, review them, and enter research notes online. You will be able to share references and research notes among team members easily. 
• There are also web applications that have been developed specifically for systematic review or similar types of research.

There are many citation managers that you can choose from, all with particular pros and cons. This guide will focus on three citation managers: Endnote, Zotero, and Mendeley.
 

Other than the basic chart on this page, there are many comparison charts on the internet. NOTE that many comparison charts review Endnote Desktop, NOT Endnote Web. Here are some helpful places to start:
