When it comes time to screen articles for inclusion in a literature review, storing your references with a Citation Management tool can help you streamline your process in a number of ways:

Add full text: EndNote, Zotero, RefWorks

Locate and store full text copies of articles so you can review them in one place.

Add notes and tags: EndNote, Zotero, RefWorks

Include notes with your references to keep track of screening results or questions, and use tags to make it easier to locate references by specific categories.

Remove duplicates: EndNote, Zotero, RefWorks

When collecting references from multiple databases, citation management tools can help you find and remove duplicate records to prevent unnecessarily reviewing the same record multiple times in screening.

Export references: EndNote, Zotero, RefWorks

Citation management tools make it easy to export your records to advanced screening tools such as Covidence.
