What is reference management software and why should you use it?
Reference management software allows you to collect, store and organise your references, and insert them into your documents quickly and easily.
Once you have stored a reference, you can use it over and over again in your reference list or bibliography. This can save you a lot of time, as you don’t have to manually type a reference each time you cite a particular source.
