Citation Management: EndNote, RefWorks, Zotero

This guide offers basic help for using various citation management systems in addition to answering frequently asked questions and providing NYU-specific information.

Add notes and tags to references

To manage the tags for references:

Select the references and select Add Tags. You can associate the selected references with an existing or new tag or remove their association with a tag.

When the Tags tab in the Navigation area is expanded, you can drag and drop references onto a tag to associate them with that tag.

You can also manage tags when editing a reference in the Reference Editor.

References will often have pre-assigned tags, but you may also create and assign new ones.
