Referencing software
Working on a piece of coursework, a dissertation or a research project?
Need to keep track of all the references you have found? Overwhelmed by
the range of bibliographic software tools available, and don't know
which one to use?
If you are
doing intensive research you may want to use reference management
programs (also known as citation manager or bibliographic management
software). Using
reference management software can save you many hours of compiling,
checking, and correcting your references, and improves consistency and
accuracy.
