Citation

Hey guys!
I have noticed after today´s class and the Town Hall that some of you have many doubts about citation. I have used a free software called Mendeley to insert references in my articles. This program automatically generates the references in a Microsoft Word document and the best of all: in the format that you would need! (APA, APSA, ASA, Harvard Reference Format, etc!). It is also very useful to organize your own database. There are other programs that serve for the same purpose as Reference Manager, EndNote, ProCite; however, you should pay in order to use them. Many universities have them, so you should inquire at your respective university to which programs you have access.
I know how to use Mendeley (I should clarify that I am not an expert, I just know basic things), it has made my ​​life easier in college. If you want, I can teach you how to use it. Just let me know if you are interested J
Below is the link where you can read more about it!
