Remember that these tools are helpful, but not automatically accurate.  Double check the output to make sure it conforms to style guidelines before including citations in your paper.

Citation Managers

Zotero is an open source citation management software that saves citation using a browser plugin. Zotero has the ability to detect citations in many different formats, and will automatically download the associated PDF. If there is no PDF, Zotero will save a copy of the webpage that can be accessed while offline.

Zotero allows organization using both folder and tags, and has options for shared folders for collaboration.

Zotero operates on a freemium scale, with the first 300MB free. Citation information and un-synced files do not count against your storage space.
