Managing your references is an important skill for

academic and professional success.
References are sources that you cite or quote in your work, such as books, articles,
websites, etc. They provide evidence and support for your arguments, as well as
acknowledge the original authors of the ideas you use.
There are different ways to manage your references, depending on your needs and
preferences. Some common methods are:
 Manual management: This involves keeping track of your references by
yourself, using tools such as word processors, spreadsheets, or note-taking apps.
You have to format your references according to the style guide of your choice,
such as Harvard, Vancouver, or APA.
 Software management: This involves using a software program or an online
service that helps you collect, organize, and cite your references. Some examples
are EndNote, Zotero, or Mendeley. These tools can automatically generate
citations and bibliographies in various styles, as well as sync your references
across devices and platforms.
 Hybrid management: This involves combining manual and software methods to
suit your needs.
