Hello! I am Vicky Rampin, the Librarian for Research Data Management and Reproducibility. I am also the liaison to computer science and data science programs at NYU! I am here to help you navigate the resources for both at NYU and beyond. You can set up an appointment with me or always email me at: vs77@nyu.edu.
If you need help with a specific quantitative, GIS, or qualitative software, you should reach out to Data Services.
Having a management system for your citations will help you save time and avoid the menial tasks of manually changing the citation style every time. Using a bibliographic management tool to keep all your citations in can help you:
Save citations from databases, web sites, and library catalogs with one click
Manage, categorize into collections, and organize your citations
Cite sources "in-text" as you write and create reference lists in most styles (e.g., IEEE, ACM, ELS, etc.) automatically
Attach PDF's, images, web page snapshots, reading notes, and more to citations in your collection
Add notes, tags, and highlights to attachments
Zotero is a recommended tool that can help you build a personal library of source information from articles, books, documents, web pages, and more. This personal library of sources can work with your word processing tool to format a paper in your choice of style, as well as export bibliographies as BibTex and add items to your library with one click on the web!
Zotero can be used on the Web, via their Web interface, or as a desktop tool. There is an extension for Firefox, Chrome, and Safari that automatically detects content in your web browser, allowing you to add to your personal library with a single click.
View the Zotero guide for more information about installation, how to use Zotero with word processors like Google Docs, MS Word, or Libre/OpenOffice, and more great tips to help you make the most of the tool.
