Zotero

Zotero is open-source software and therefore, it is free and gets updated regularly. You can set up Zotero to automatically download these updates in preferences. See 'Setting Preferences' for information.

With the free version, you have 300MB of personal storage space but it is possible to pay for a premium plan which gives you more storage space. 

There are several iterations of Zotero:

• a desktop software application, that you can download and install on your Windows, Mac or Linux computer. It is also available on Desktop@UCL computers and Desktop@UCL Anywhere. To insert references into a Microsoft Word or Libre Office document and generate a bibliography, you must use the desktop version. 
• a web-based application, Zotero web library is available to you once you register.
• If you’re using a mobile device or a desktop browser without a Zotero Connector, you can save webpages or identifiers to your library from the save page or with the magic wand button from your web library. The Zotero bookmarklet has been discontinued.
• Zotero has released a mobile version for iPad or iPhone downloadable from the Apple Store and it's also beta-testing a mobile version for Android.
• There are also third-party solutions for Android devices.

You can synchronise your Zotero library across various platforms and devices by using the same username and password.

• Unlimited storage for bibliographic references.
