Citing Sources
Are you stressed out by how many articles and books you have on your topic? How do you remember who is who and what goes where? What about making a proper bibliography at the end?
For many people, using a citation/reference/bibliography management tool can help! These offer you a way to keep track of your sources and even start to build a bibliography right from the beginning. If you have any difficulties using these tools, a librarian will be happy to walk through it with you.
