# 1. Modern bibliographic management

Whether you are citing a paper on the flying ice cube \cite{Harvey_1998} or a paper by \citet{28069665}, you need a powerful way to manage your citations and references. Zotero accomplishes this by building a reference management layer on top of the word processor of your choice. Authorea takes a different approach: the reference manager is built inside the word processor itself! Authroea makes it easy add citations to bibliographic references in a couple of clicks. The citation manager lets you search millions of scholarly papers while you are writing so you can add and format them quickly. A bibliography, listing all references at the end of the document, is built automatically and instantly for you. (Look at the bottom of this document!)
