Managing your referencesTo make sure you have accurate details of all the sources you might want to reference consider using a system for managing your references.
For many students, especially for undergraduate assignments, the easiest way is to set up a 'Reference File' to which you can keep adding details as you read. Saving it somewhere you can access easily from a variety of devices is a good idea - in OneDrive, Google Docs, or Dropbox, for instance.
Basic referencing tools such as MyBib and ZoteroBib can help create accurate references. If you are collecting a lot of references, you might prefer more advanced reference management software like EndNote, Zotero or Mendeley.
Be aware that any reference management program is only as good as the information you give it! So before you start using any program, it's important to make sure you have a clear understanding of the type of information you need and where you need to put it. If it's in the wrong place, or it's the wrong or inaccurate information, the program will not correct it, and it may be more difficult to put right later.
