When writing a paper with lots of citations, there are several tools that can help.

EndNote, bibliographic management and formatting software, can help you manage citations and references throughout the process of writing a research paper.

• Organize references to cite in papers
• Format bibliographies in APA, MLA, Chicago, and hundreds of other styles
