You’ll be doing a lot of reading for your literature review. Below we’ve shared some tips to make doing your references easier:

• Make sure you know what referencing style you are expected to use – check your module guide. In most cases it will be Harvard but some subjects do use other styles.
• Save your sources as you’re going along (we’ve included a section on this in this tutorial).
• Use Cite Them Right regularly during your writing process – even if you are using an app to help with your references it is a good idea to do a manual check of a few sources on Cite Them Right.
• Add the basic citation data when making notes – author, title year, page number – to make sure you know where all your evidence comes from.
• Seek study skills support when you have questions. 

All students can contact the Library helpdesk if you have any questions about Cite Them Right for example if you are struggling to find some guidance on referencing a particular source. Let us know if we can help you.
