American Sociological Association (ASA) Style: Citation / Reference Managers

Reference Managers

NUS Libraries provide support for the use of citation or reference managers such as Zotero and EndNote. These software make creating references easier by automatically pulling in citations from databases, library catalogues as well as selected search engines. Citations can then be automatically added to your work and formatted in your preferred style.
