This guide introduces the reference management tools available to you at the University of Sunderland and provides clear step-by-step guidance for beginners in using the software.
Reference management software is a helpful tool for managing your references particularly when you have a large number of references, but it's important you always review the references it creates. These tools are not a replacement for knowing how to reference. Always use Cite Them Right to check the references are accurate in whatever document you are including them in.
