Zotero
Free, open-source software for managing bibliographic data and research-related materials. Zotero helps to collect, organize, annotate, cite and share research results. The built-in assistant automatically identifies research as you browse the web and creates citations and bibliographies for any text editor, as well as directly in Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs. You can sort items into collections and tag them with keywords. You can also create saved searches that automatically populate with relevant materials as you work. The program runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS.
