Reference Managers & Overleaf

When working on your bibliography, you can link to your Zotero, CiteULike, or Mendeley accounts directly within Overleaf.  

Zotero or CiteULike 

Mendeley 


If you are using another reference management tool, you can upload a BibTeX (.bib) file.

RefWorks

  • Export your bibliography from RefWorks in .bib format to use in Overleaf.
    • Save this exported file to a location which allows direct linking (e.g. google drive), to keep it in sync when you add new references.

EndNote

BibTeX Resources

BibTeX is a file format used for lists of references for LaTeX documents. Many citation management tools support the ability to export and import lists of references in .bib format. Some reference management tools can generate BibTeX files of your library or folders for use in your LaTeX documents.
