Reference Management & Zotero
Reference management systems are time-saving tools that allow you to:
- Collect and store references for the resources you read as you go
- Manage and organise your references for different assignments or modules
- Quickly add in-text citations into your assignments
- Automatically generate a reference list from these in-text citations
Zotero is an example of a freely available reference management system, and is supported by Goldsmiths Library.
The three videos below will guide you though installing Zotero, collecting references, and adding these references to your word document.
