Citation helps you with
two processes required for all types of research writing - documenting sources and organizing research notes -
by translating
what you already do when you are researching a topic into a simple, straightforward
system that you can think of the "Citation ABCs":

Whenever you read a
potential source work,
enter a bibliographic record for the work.
Citation provides you with
forms
to make sure you enter all the information you will need on the
article,
book,
chapter,
or other source work for a proper reference.
Include a few keywords to help you retrieve all the works on subjects of interest
for your work, and an abstract that summarizes the significance of the source
for your research.

When you encounter a passage or excerpt that either capsulizes the source work's position on an issue or contribution to a research area
or illustrates a critical concept you want to remember as you work or address in your paper -
enter a
note record. Citation will link the note to the
bibliographic record
-- you'll need to enter the page/paragraph where the passage can be relocated.
Include a few keywords that indicate the relationship of the excerpt to your research interests.
You can enter your comments on the excerpt, perhaps indicating how the point supports (or conflicts with)
your position, along with the excerpt itself.

Now, when you are ready to write, you'll find that you can easily
review your notes
on any of the
issues you need to address, and
cite
any of the works you've read, in just about any style required (Citation supports 1000+ styles for
references), with a
click.
