Literature Reviews and Citation Management

Whether you are working on a review of the literature for a grant application, for your thesis or dissertation, for a publication, or just to get a sense of what information is out there on a particular research topic, your liaison librarian can provide support.

Need some general guidance? We can schedule a consultation to suggest some useful search tools and strategies.

Or, if you are willing to include your liaison librarian as a co-author or co-PI, we may be able to write or help write the literature review section of a funding application or article (time permitting). Please reach out for more information!

Need some guidance on managing your citations? See our guide to using Zotero and our guide to using EndNote Basic.

Also, feel free to contact your liaison librarian to discuss any aspect of citation management, including comparing the various citation management tools, setting up a citation manager, transferring citations from one tool to another and/or using a citation manager to generate citations and a bibliography. 

Email your liaison librarian to learn more!
