Most reference management programs include downloadable desktop version, browser version and perhaps also mobile app.

• Install software on University of Helsinki computers from Software Center (instructions), available: Citavi, EndNote 21, Mendeley Reference Manager, and Zotero
• On your own computer you can download software from their web site. Programs offered by the university (e.g. Endnote 21) can be downloaded from Download Centre (instructions)
• If your documents consist of many types of sources, including non-pdf documents (articles, books, reports, but also websites, blogs, etc.), Zotero is a good choice for managing them.
• If your sources are mainly articles or other pdf documents, Mendeley's full-text search and reader with annotation options is handy.
• The premium EndNote offers even more features, especially if you are dealing with large numbers of references, e.g. for a monograph or a systematic literature review.
• Things to consider: Selecting a reference management tool (The Open University)
• Comparison of reference management software (Wikipedia)
• Mendeley vs Zotero (Australian College of Applied Professions ACAP Library) comparison table
• Adding citations in a Word document without any separate reference management program (Microsoft support pages)
