# Reference Manager

## Overview

The Reference Manager widget category provides section tools for connecting scientific records in Labii ELN or LIMS with the published literature that supports them. These widgets help teams display paper abstracts, embed citation summaries, and keep key references visible alongside experiments, protocols, reports, and knowledge records. The category is designed for literature-aware workflows where researchers need fast access to publication context without leaving the record they are documenting. Together, these tools make it easier to capture evidence, preserve scientific background, and organize supporting references within Labii.
