Dear Ms. Gorbunova,

I feel Microsoft Office Word (2007 and higher version) provide a great help in managing references and make a library of your reference list.  User need to enter the details of citation and he/she can also select the reference style. You can check the option in reference bar in MS word and add source from drop down list provided at 'Manage sources. option. By clicking on 'inset bibliography' you can add list of references you have added in selected citation style.in social sciences we usually use APA style for reference. I hope this is relevant and helpful to you. 

Mendeley, Zetero, EndNote etc. are the good reference management softwares. 

Dear Ms Gorbunova

I do not think that your area of research is crucial for your choice of reference manager. I know researchers from different areas who use the same reference manager.

I myself use EnNote, its a commercial reference management software, and it works very well. Mendeley is a free reference manager you can use if you create an account and Zotero is a free and open-source reference management software.

If my employer had not provided EndNote to me I would have used a free reference management alternative instead. 

Good luck in finding your reference manager!

Best regards

Hello Ekaterina,

I recommend Mendeley. It's free, can be installed on all commonly used devices and operating systems, and synchronizes between them.

It's also great to use in collaboration with some other tools for researchers, like Overleaf or SciFlow. Both have integrated Mendeley into their text editors to make citing your references more easy.

As a co-founder of SciFlow, it's the tool I was searching for when I was working on my Ph.D.

You can see how SciFlow and Mendeley work together at https://www.sciflow.net/mendeley
