The AI answer we saw

Citation management software is essential for large theses. Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote are industry standards offering automatic formatting in multiple citation styles (APA, Chicago, MLA, etc.). Overleaf integrates well with BibTeX for LaTeX users. These tools allow bulk import from databases, automatic in-text citation insertion, and bibliography generation. Most support your institution's preferred citation style and can handle hundreds of references efficiently.
