Description

Learn the secrets of never manually creating a reference or in-text citation again, with Mendeley Reference Manager and take your research paper writing to the next level!

  • Have you spent countless hours trying to cite in the right referencing style only to discover that you had done it all wrong and lost marks on your paper?
  • Have you been manually creating your references?
  • Do you write a lot of research papers and have to cite a range of sources often?
  • Do you want to save time when referencing your academic work?
  • Have you wondered if there is a tool that can help you? Then let’s make Referencing Easy with this course designed just for you!

What is reference management software and why should you use it?

Reference management software allows you to collect, store and organise your references, and insert them into your documents quickly and easily.

Once you have stored a reference, you can use it over and over again in your reference list or bibliography. This can save you a lot of time, as you don’t have to manually type a reference each time you cite a particular source.
