Citing Your Sources

Don't make citing harder than it has to be!  Learn about Mendeley Citation Management in the videos below.  Once you've created an account, you'll be able to:

  • Track sources.  Quickly and easily keep track of the sources you find and use.
  • Organize sources.  Compile all your sources in one "library" - and sort them by assignment, or however you like.
  • Add sources to paper.  Directly in Word, add your source citations - in-text and bibliography - as you write.
  • Any citation style.  You can change this at will (when you use Mendeley again in another class, just switch to the one you need!)
