Managing information

A key research skill is the ability to manage and organise the information sources you use in your work. For example, using reference management software tools, such as EndNote or RefWorks, can significantly simplify the task of tracking your sources, ensuring proper citation, and avoiding plagiarism.

By refining your information management skills, you can save time, improve the quality of your research, and establish a solid foundation for future academic and professional success. 

This toolkit will introduce you to the information resources and support offered by the library, allowing you to effectively manage the sources you find.

Checklists are organised lists of tasks, or items that need to be completed or verified. They are important because they help ensure that no steps are missed, improve efficiency and enhance accuracy in various processes.

By providing a clear and concise way to track progress, checklists can reduce errors and increase productivity.
