This type of tool, I think it is fair to say, you will be using daily. However, as a graduate student you should understand that you are investing in your future. There is a lot to be said for free software, and both Zotero and Mendelay seem pretty solid. There are several online comparisons of some of the different systems ( e.g., Penn Libraries, UW Madison Library, etc.) From my experience, students tend to choose either Mendelay or Zotero-my guess is because they are free. Some allow for annotation within the software as well. Many allow you to also manage your PDF files as well naming, organizing, and moving your files to a central repository on your computer. Some of these are citation managers only (BibDesk). There are several tools available for PDF/citation management, including: Often they also sync across machines and devices allowing you to access your database wherever you are. They also allow you to organize, evaluate, annotate, and search within your citation collection and share your references with others. First and foremost, these tools allow you to automatically cite references for a paper in a wide range of bibliographic styles. Using a citation management software makes scholarly work easier and more effective. Often these tools go hand-in-hand with a citation management system, which is also critical for graduate students. PDF management is a critical tool that all graduate students need to use and the sooner the better.
This means a new crop of graduate students will begin their academic training.
