There are several free citation management software applications. These applications will help you organize, share, export, import, and modify citations.
Such applications although helpful, do operate on a garbage in/garbage out principal.
The most popular of these applications are Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote.

The WSU Libraries do not endorse any particular citation management application. That said, from experience, I've found there to be a little less of a learning curve with Zotero and Mendeley as opposed to EndNote.
Although I use all three applications, I tend to use Zotero the most.
Here's the quick start guide link which will get you going with Zotero.
