Citation Management
Citation management refers to the process of organizing and formatting references for academic and research work. It involves collecting, storing, and managing bibliographic information about various sources, such as books, articles, and websites. Tools like Zotero, Mendeley, and EndNote help researchers keep track of their sources and generate citations in different styles, such as APA or MLA.
Effective citation management is essential for maintaining academic integrity and avoiding plagiarism. By properly citing sources, researchers give credit to original authors and allow readers to locate the referenced materials. This practice enhances the credibility of the work and contributes to the scholarly conversation within a field.
