I am sharing this since there seems to be a need for this kind of software on this forum.

CiteThisForMe
http://www.citethisforme.com/

Creating a bibliography or set of references used to be quite time consuming, however a number of free programs and applications have helped make this process much simpler. One such application is CiteThisForMe, which allows users to create their own references via this handy form. CiteThisForMe uses the Harvard referencing style, and visitors just need to enter a number of details to create each reference. Visitors have the option to cite a book, newspaper, journal, website, or other type of source. This version is compatible with all operating systems

Hi Steve,

Thanks for this, but I would strongly recommend Mendeley or Zotero to those who want a reference library. These give you control over your citations, autosync, as well as many other styles than Harvard. Also they automatically generate data from the webpage or file. You simply need to search for the reference (PubMed, Google Scholar), and then either click to add to the manager, or download the PDF and it will be added automatically.

A lot easier, I believe.

Best, /Pavi

I agree with Pavi. There is also Citavi and Endnote and others. We have now passed the point where you need to type out a bibliographic reference. These can be downloaded directly from publishers, libraries or even captured from book sellers’ sites like Amazon.
