Need Help with Referencing?

Are you working on your dissertation? Are you finding it difficult to manage your references and to cite them properly?

Try registering yourself for an Endnote Basic account (it's free!) and download the plug-in for Word to help you to manage and format your references in the correct style (that's APA 6th in the College of Business).

Our guide to Endnote Basic will help you to get started with setting up your account, entering your references into Endnote Basic and pulling those references into your Word document.

Let us know if you have any questions.
