      Zotero is an open-source bibliographic reference management system (BRMS) application. This free, open-source software is easy to use and helps you collect, organize, cite, and share your sources. It has a large user base, and anyone (with computer skills) can help develop the code. It operates with different operating systems (MacOS, Windows, Linux) and can therefore be used on any computer. It means you can recover your data if you move over to a different operating system. You can start using Zotero now and switch to different software later depending on your research organization (thanks to import/export exchange formats such as BibTeX or RIS).
