Reference management software, citation management software or personal bibliographic management software is software for scholars and authors to use for recording and utilising bibliographic citations (references). Once a citation has been recorded, it can be used time and again in generating bibliographies, such as lists of references in scholarly books, articles and essays. The development of reference management packages has been driven by the rapid expansion of scientific literature.

These software packages normally consist of a database in which full bibliographic references can be entered, plus a system for generating selective lists of articles in the different formats required by publishers and scholarly journals. Modern reference management packages can usually be integrated with word processors so that a reference listin the appropriate format is produced automatically as an article is written, reducing the risk that a cited source is not included in the reference list. They will also have a facility for importing the details of publications from bibliographic databases.

Searching Technique

Many teachers and trainers are beginning to use the web on a regular basis and are looking for guidance and organizational strategies for what appears to be a chaotic and certainly a ubiquitous environment. They find that simply accessing personal web pages does not provide a useful scheme for finding information to perform higher level operations such as research. They are also finding out that traditional methods of searching for information do not apply in the distributed resource environment of the world wide web. Educators and Trainers need unique searching strategies for efficiently and effectively finding information in this dynamic environment.

Journal Citation Reports

Journal Citation Reports (JCR) is a unique multidisciplinary journal evaluation tool. Journal Citation Reports on the Web is the only journal evaluation resource that provides statistical information based on citation data. By compiling cited references, JCR helps to measure research influence and impact at the journal level, and shows the relationships between citing and cited journals. It presents quantifiable statistical data that provides a systematic, objective way to determine the relative importance of journals within their subject categories.
