Definition and Use of BMS
What is it ?
Bibliographic management software allows you to create and track references (aka
citations) and to create bibliographies or reference lists formatted in the appropriate style,
such as APA, MLA, Chicago or Turabian. You can simultaneously import records from
databases such as PubMed, PsycINFO and Web of Science in addition to many others. You
can add abstracts, keywords and other functions that enhance and improve the efficiency of
your project.
How does bibliographic management software save time and how might I use it?
Create bibliographies and references almost instantaneously.
Reduce the likelihood of duplicate citations by removing them
Create your own critical abstracts, which is part of the the production of your work.
Re-use or repurpose your own content over time.
Search and organize your own database of references according to how you would
use them.
Embed footnotes, endnotes and within text citations.
What it won't do
It will not create a perfect bibliography or reference list according to your favorite
style. For example, you will still have to know APA, MLA, Chicago or Turabian.
It will not correct errors or omissions that were in the database from which you
retrieved references.
It will not always know what type of material you are putting into it from a database
(e.g. it cannot always distinguish a proceeding from a book).
At this time, no bibligraphic management software handles legal citation formats.
