Reference Management Systems
One of the most important tools for a researcher is a writing tool. The most common tool used is Microsoft Word but given the plethora of tools that are specifically being designed to aid researchers, it’s certainly not the best or only tool. Writing up research is often not only a process of writing, but also a process of entering a dialogue with others (your references and sources). As such, integrating a tool that seamlessly integrates these two processes is an essential tool for any researcher.
In this workshop, we give an introduction to those of you who are not yet using a reference management system as a plugin to their writing tool (whether Word or any other). We strongly suggest that you take some time to invest in setting up a reference management system for yourself, which will serve handy for the remainder of your research career.
