Stata

Stata is a paid software. Georgetown provides download option through the university webstore here.

Zotero

Zotero is a reference management tool. It allows you to maintain a structured bibliography. Its integration with various web browsers and software like MS Word and R, makes it a fantastic tool for keeping track of readings as well as citing them.
