Reference management software is an extremely important tool for researchers; it gives error-free references and allows users to move from one referencing style to another in a matter of seconds, such as APA to MLA, MLA to Chicago, and many more. Import, export, highlight, cooperate with others, establish your own library, and so on are all vital functions of reference management software. It also helps us save time. Purpose: The study's purpose was to determine how frequently reference management software is recognized and used in India's central universities. Research Design: The survey method and questionnaire were used to collect data from research scholars at central universities in India. Study Sample: The researchers chose 18 central universities in India, which are offering Ph.D. course in Library and Information Science.
