When you're doing research for an assignment or essay, you will find a variety of sources that you will use in your work, but how do you keep track of them all? Mendeley is a free software tool for managing your references that allows you to collect and organise them and quickly & easily create in-text citations and reference lists.
Mendeley is similar to Zotero and might have a better user interface, but requires you to create a login with an email address, while Zotero cam be used without having to login
You don't have to use referencing software, but if you're comfortable using apps, why not check out Mendeley?
